What we fit on Wareham roofs, and why solar makes sense here

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

Why solar suits Wareham

Wareham is a historic Saxon walled town with a genuine conservation-area core and a fair number of period and listed roofs, which calls for a different kind of planning care than a newer estate. Beyond the town walls, Wareham is also the gateway into rural Purbeck, barns, farms and smallholdings around Sandford, Stoborough and Wool, some without an affordable mains connection, where off-grid or ground-mount solar is often the more sensible option than paying to extend the grid.

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 Wareham's older centre.

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 Wareham and the surrounding Purbeck villages?

Yes, we cover Wareham along with Sandford, Stoborough, Wool, Bere Regis and out towards the Corfe Castle edge, from our Broadstone base.

What does solar cost for a Wareham home?

A Wareham system opens at £8,825, which covers ten or so panels forming a 5kW array, a 10kWh battery and the scaffold, with a typical finished order near £10,000. We aim for a return inside seven years, comfortably ahead of the no-battery, panels-only figures sometimes quoted around here, and whether it is a town-centre period roof or a rural Purbeck holding, we settle your own number at a free survey.

Can I have solar on a period or listed property in Wareham's old town?

In many 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 part of Wareham's historic centre. All-black panels sit low and discreet on the roofline, with in-roof or SolaSkirt mounting available where a period elevation calls for it.

I have a farm or rural property near Wareham without mains power, can you help?

Yes, this is one of our specialisms. Off-grid solar and battery, sometimes with a generator backup via an automatic transfer switch, is often significantly cheaper than paying to extend the grid to a remote property. We recently completed a 54kW off-grid system near Dorchester for a client quoted over £150,000 for a grid connection, who instead paid around £70,000 for solar and battery, projected to save over £1,000,000 in diesel over the system's life.

Why choose New Gen for a Wareham install?

We combine genuine conservation-area planning experience for the old town with real off-grid and agricultural capability for rural Purbeck, which is a fairly unusual combination in one installer. We are MCS and NAPIT certified, RECC registered, insured to £2 million, and we offer a blind like-for-like quote against any other proposal so you can compare fairly.
