One real example: our co-founder Phil saved £1,600 in his first year, tracked against his actual bills, not a projection.
Why solar stacks up in Wimborne, and what we would put on your roof
Panels, hybrid inverter and battery, sized around your usage and fitted honestly.
Why solar suits Wimborne
Wimborne is home turf for us. Our base is at Merley House, and we cover the old town, Colehill, Merley, Canford Magna and out towards Corfe Mullen and Pamphill. The old town around the Minster carries genuine conservation-area character, with a fair number of period and listed properties, while the newer estates further out are generally more straightforward roofs.
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 Wimborne'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 Wimborne just added to a coverage list?
We are genuinely local. Our office is at Merley House, so this is not a town we have added to a coverage list, it is home turf. We cover the old town, Colehill, Merley, Canford Magna, Corfe Mullen and Pamphill as a matter of course.
What does solar cost for a Wimborne home?
In Wimborne the entry price is £8,825, covering a 5kW system, a 10kWh battery and the scaffolding, with most finished orders close to £10,000 once the hybrid inverter is specified. Whether it is a newer Colehill roof or a period property in the old town, we aim to have it paying for itself inside seven years, typically six to eight. We confirm your own figure at a free survey.
Can I have solar on a period or listed home in Wimborne'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 lot of the old town around the Minster. All-black panels sit low and discreet on the roofline, and in-roof or SolaSkirt mounting is available where a period elevation needs it.
Do you have examples of work you have done in Wimborne?
We are still building our photographed local project gallery, so rather than show you stock imagery dressed up as Wimborne proof, we would rather tell you honestly where we stand and talk you through recent jobs on the phone. We hold a genuine 5.0 star rating from real Google reviews and have completed over 700 domestic installs across Dorset.
Why choose New Gen for a Wimborne install over a firm from Bournemouth or Poole?
Because we know this town first-hand. We cover the old town's conservation constraints as a matter of course and treat every Wimborne roof on its own terms rather than as a template. We will also quote you a blind like-for-like against any other installer's spec and tell you honestly if you do not need everything they have proposed.
