Covering Poole
Poole sits well inside the patch we cover
From our Broadstone base at Ste 7, Merley House, Merley House Lane we reach every corner of Poole and the surrounding Dorset villages. We would rather give you a straight answer about your own roof than hand you a page written for the whole county.

~£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.
The kit we fit around Poole, and why it suits the housing here
Panels, hybrid inverter and battery, sized around your usage and fitted honestly.
Why solar suits Poole
Poole is a town we cover in full. The district spread here is wide, from premium waterside properties around Sandbanks and Canford Cliffs to Victorian terraces in Parkstone and 1930s semis around Oakdale and Hamworthy, and each of those roof types behaves differently for shading, orientation and looks. Poole Old Town, Canford Cliffs and Branksome Park also carry real conservation-area and listed-building considerations, which is where our planning experience earns its keep.
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 Poole'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.
Are you a local team, or is this just another town page?
We are genuinely local. Our base is at Merley House in Broadstone, and it is where our vans leave from every morning. Poole is a town we cover in full, from Sandbanks right through to Hamworthy.
How much should I budget for solar and battery on a Poole home?
Poole runs from Sandbanks waterside homes to Hamworthy semis, so we never post a single price for the whole borough. Most homeowners start from £8,825, which buys about ten panels making up a 5kW system, a 10kWh battery and the scaffold, and a finished order usually settles near £10,000. The return lands inside seven years on most roofs, quicker where a larger system fits. We confirm the true number for your own roof at a free survey.
I am in a conservation area, Poole Old Town, Canford Cliffs or Branksome Park, can I still have solar?
In most cases, yes. We have real experience getting planning granted next to Grade II listed buildings and inside Article 4 conservation areas, which covers a good number of Poole's higher-value districts. All-black panels sit low on the roofline and in-roof or SolaSkirt options are available where the looks of a period elevation matter.
Do you have proof of solar work you have done in Poole?
We are still building our photographed Poole-specific project gallery, so we would rather tell you that honestly than dress up stock photography as local proof. What we can point to is a genuine 5.0 star rating from real Google reviews, including a Poole homeowner's review of their own solar and battery install, and over 700 domestic jobs across Dorset.
Why pick New Gen over the other Poole installers?
We know Poole's roofs from Sandbanks to Hamworthy and never treat any of it as a template. We will talk you out of an overpriced system if a cheaper one does the same job, offer a blind like-for-like quote against any other installer, and never push for a decision on the day. Honest, technically-led advice is the whole pitch.
