Covering Christchurch
Yes, we install across Christchurch and the surrounding Dorset
Our vans leave from Ste 7, Merley House, Merley House Lane in Broadstone, and Christchurch is a town we cover in full rather than a name squeezed onto the end of a list. Wherever you are in the town, the same MCS and NAPIT certified team does the work.

Christchurch pricing
What you would actually pay in Christchurch
5kW / 10-panel system + 10kWh battery
From £8,825 inc. scaffold
Our most common residential spec
Average residential order (hybrid inverter + battery)
~£10,000
Exact figure confirmed at a free survey
Grants and 0% VAT already apply to most residential solar and battery installs, and the Smart Export Guarantee pays you for what you export. We'll walk you through what applies to your home. One real example: our co-founder Phil saved £1,600 in his first year, tracked against his actual bills, not a projection.
Systems sized for Christchurch homes, not for a catalogue
Panels, hybrid inverter and battery, sized around your usage and fitted honestly.
Why solar suits Christchurch
Christchurch mixes coastal cottages, Victorian terraces near the Priory and newer builds out towards Burton and Somerford, so no two roofs behave the same. Salt air off the Solent and the Avon and Stour estuaries means we pay close attention to fixings and roof condition on Mudeford and Highcliffe properties, and a good number of homes here sit inside a conservation area or close to a listed building, where the look of the install matters as much as the output.
Panels, hybrid inverter & battery
95% of homeowners take a battery alongside their panels, and the inverter is predominantly hybrid. See the full residential price guide and battery options.
All-black, standard or in-roof
All-black panels as standard, face no more than 15cm above the tiles, with in-roof or SolaSkirt options available.
Most roof types
Concrete tile, peg tile, slate, flat, trapezoidal and corrugated roofs, but not thatch. All kit is IP65/IP66 rated and never fitted in the loft.
Honest "sometimes no" advice
We won't recommend north-facing panels, and we're upfront when heavy shade makes a roof unsuitable.
Conservation areas & listed buildings
Experience getting planning granted next to Grade II listed buildings and in Article 4 conservation areas. That covers a good number of properties around Christchurch's older centre.

Adam Khodabaccus
We recently had solar panels and battery storage installed at our property in Poole by New Gen Renewables, and I couldn't be more impressed with the service we received. From the very start, the team were incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and professional. They took the time to explain everything clearly and made the whole process feel smooth and stress-free. We're already seeing the benefits of going solar.
Ben Harrison
Really good experience with New Gen Renewables from start to finish. Had solar panels fitted and the lads were spot on- turned up on time, worked hard, and got everything done to a high standard. Easy to deal with, no messing about, and explained everything properly without trying to oversell anything.
Neil Smith
Great service from New-Gen! Very personal and very reasonably priced. Had 24 panels installed with inverter and 2 batteries. All working perfectly.
Do you cover Mudeford, Highcliffe, Burton and Somerford as well as Christchurch itself?
Yes. We work across the whole of Christchurch and its surrounding villages, including Mudeford, Highcliffe, Burton, Purewell, Somerford and Stanpit, from our Broadstone base. If you are unsure whether your postcode is in reach, call us and we will give you a straight answer rather than guess on a page.
What does a solar and battery system cost for a Christchurch home, and how quickly does it pay back?
A typical Christchurch install works out around £10,000, and our published starting point is £8,825 for a 5kW array of roughly ten panels paired with a 10kWh battery, scaffold included. On the older coastal roofs common around the Priory and Mudeford we still target a return inside seven years, usually six to eight, and closer to four or five where the roof takes a sensibly larger array. Because salt exposure and roof condition change street to street here, we settle the real figure at a free survey rather than quote one price for the whole town.
Will solar work on a coastal or conservation-area home in Christchurch?
In most cases, yes. Salt-laden air off the coast is something we design around rather than avoid, with IP65 and IP66 rated kit and fixings chosen for exposed roofs. Where a property sits inside a conservation area, such as parts of Mudeford, Highcliffe or the town centre near the Priory, or next to a Grade II listed building, we have real experience getting planning granted and can advise on all-black or in-roof options that keep the install discreet.
Do you have photos of finished installs around Christchurch?
We are still building our photographed local project gallery for this area, so we would rather be straight about that than show you stock imagery and call it local proof. What we can share is our track record across Dorset, with over 700 domestic installs and a genuine 5.0 star rating from real Google reviews, and we are happy to talk you through recent jobs on the phone.
Why choose New Gen over other solar installers covering Christchurch?
Most of the installers who show up for Christchurch searches are running the same page across every Dorset town with the name swapped in. We would rather give you an honest, technically led answer for your own roof and usage, including telling you when a battery or a bigger system is not worth the extra money. We will also give you a blind like-for-like quote against any other installer's spec, so you can compare fairly, and we never chase a sale on the day.
