About Sun Spark Solar

My name is Laurie Girling, I lived in Exeter for 7 years during and after my first degree, then moved to Bristol to work for a leading solar company. I was in this job for nearly 7 years, almost 6 of which were spent as a team leader and maintenance engineer, during which I gained extensive experience working on small scale domestic, medium sized commercial/industrial, and very large commercial solar PV installations as an installer, fault finder, problem solver and maintenance engineer.

I moved back to Devon (Teignmouth) in 2016  to start my own company specialising in all aspects of solar PV.

I now have a small team (across 2 vans), who are excellent at what they (we) do.
