Hello, Nansledan

Who are Naked Solar?

A Nationally Acclaimed Solar Installer on your doorstep.  We started way back in 2010, with 2 employees operating out of our MD’s kitchen in St Columb Minor.

Since then, we’ve become a trusted voice in the UK renewable energy industry.  In 2013 we defined our purpose as “improve faith in our industry”, meaning we put our purpose over profit, helping as many people as possible slash their energy bills and CO2e by generating their own clean energy, resulting in:

• Delivery of energy independence through thousands of Solar Installs across the South West.
• Growing our team (locally) to support surging solar demand.  In 2023 we celebrated our team becoming 50 strong.
• Becoming chosen Installation partners of many New Build Developers like Wain Homes & Morrish Homes.
• Opening our first Hub in Exeter in 2023 to provide a more responsive service to our Devon, Somerset and Dorset customers – more Hubs are in the pipeline.
• Winning recognition through dozens of Regional and National Awards thanks to our team’s hard work and dedication. 
• Achieving coveted “Tesla Certified Premium Installer” and “Sunpower Premier Partner” status through high quality installations and excellent customer satisfaction.
• Achieving B Corp certification by meeting the highest standards of care for our employees, customers, community and planet.

In the community so far

• We leave our pallets out for anyone to use, create something or just to keep warm.  You can help yourself, post your creations on our socials and win prizes.
• Support local. We currently sponsor clubs like Newquay Hornets and Lusty SLSC.
• Attend local career days and sponsor events for local schools.
• Offer discounts for local people like you. (Jump to see your locals discount)
• Raise money for charities through events like the RSPCA’s “In The Doghouse“, Macmillan Cake Days and walking the Yorkshire 3 peaks for Hemophilia.
• Plant trees at Newquay Orchard.

If you have any bright ideas on how we can help our local community we’re all ears!  If we implement your idea, you’ll win an amazing Solar Backpack (Worth £125) to keep your phone going while you’re out and about.  Please send your suggestions to [email protected]. 

Naked As Employers

To keep the biggest proportion of Naked Solar’s CO2e down we employ locally as much as possible, you’ve probably seen the cycle path full of our team walking or cycling into our office at Quintdown Business Park. This also brings us closer to our community.  We want to play our part in boosting the local economy sustainably and putting Newquay on the map as a thriving, positive place to live and work.

We’ve covered all bases with a great range of Employee Benefits and policies that led to Naked Solar being listed in Best Place to Work in Cornwall 2023 and 2024.

We continue to expand our amazing team to meet soaring demand for renewable energy across the South West, with plans to bring our first class service to the whole UK.

Teaching local people the skills our planet needs now

The biggest barrier to combating Climate Change is the lack of people with the wide range of skills required for renewable energy deployment.

Naked Solar’s Planet Maintenance Academy provides members of our local community with the key skills required to tackle the climate crisis head on, helping them gain employment in a thriving industry and become another ‘Solar Superhero’ joining the fight for a cleaner planet.

We’re proud to have created the UK’s first and only Solar PV roofing training course which we deliver ourselves from our training roof in Cubert. Graduates of our Planet Maintenance Academy   gain employment in the solar industry, either with us or for other UK Solar Installers.

We’re generating hundreds of exciting career opportunities here in the years to come, so keep your eye on our jobs page if you want to join us in the fight against climate change.
