Why solar stacks up in New Milton, and what we would put on your roof

Panels, hybrid inverter and battery, sized around your usage and fitted honestly.

Why solar suits New Milton

New Milton's housing leans heavily towards bungalows on quiet retirement streets, plus clifftop and coastal homes around Barton on Sea and Milford on Sea that see real salt-air exposure. Both are things we design around rather than treat as an afterthought, single-storey access changes the scaffold and install approach, and coastal fixings need to hold up to weather a few streets back from the seafront simply do not face.

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.

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.

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.

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 New Milton and Barton on Sea?

Yes. We cover New Milton and the surrounding New Forest coast, including Barton on Sea, Ashley, Bashley and Milford on Sea, from our Broadstone base.

What does solar cost for a New Milton home?

For a New Milton bungalow or a coastal home near Barton on Sea, the popular package of a 5kW array on around ten panels, a 10kWh battery and scaffold opens at £8,825, and most orders come out close to £10,000. Single-storey roofs are usually quick to access and quick to cost, and we aim to have the system paying itself back within seven years. We lock the exact figure in at a free survey before you commit to anything.

Is my bungalow or coastal home suitable for solar?

In most cases, yes. Bungalows are often straightforward, single-storey roofs that are easy to access safely, and coastal homes around Barton on Sea or Milford on Sea just need the right IP-rated kit and fixings for salt-air exposure, which is standard practice for us rather than a special case. Where a property sits inside a New Forest conservation area, we will check the planning position honestly before you commit.

Which panels and battery would you recommend for a coastal New Milton property?

The panels themselves, DMEGC or Aiko, both carry IP65 or IP66 rated components as standard, so salt air is not a special consideration for the kit itself, more for how carefully the install is fixed and sealed. We will always match the battery brand to the inverter, EcoFlow or Fox being our usual choices, since mismatched brands are where warranty problems tend to come from.

Why trust New Gen for a New Milton job rather than another local firm?

Because the paperwork behind the job matters most. We are MCS and NAPIT certified, RECC registered, insured to £2 million, and every install carries an insurance-backed workmanship warranty. We also offer a blind like-for-like quote against any local firm's proposal, and we would rather talk you out of an oversized system than sell you one you do not need.
