A roundup of a few of our recent 5-Star Trustpilot Reviews and Google Reviews for NXTGEN Energy Reviews for January 2024.
Paul Hayman
Great Solar Installation
After searching for local companies and obtaining quotes for our installation we found NXTGEN Energy to be highly competitive, easy to communicate with and having the advantage of a scaffolding team as well as the panel installers.
Our link was Bobby Barnes who worked with us to maximise what we could get for our budget and located smaller solar panels to fit onto a limited roof space yet still produce a good output (7 panels producing up to 3kW).
Within a week of agreeing the specification the scaffolding was up, panels installed and then scaffolding down. We couldn’t have asked for a smoother process.
Everyone in the company we communicated with was really helpful (especially Kelly in Accounts) making the whole process stress free.

Probably the best Solar Installer out there!
We have had a wonderful experience with NXTGEN Energy Ltd. From quotation through to installation the service has been slick and professional. The fact they can do the scaffolding and installation in house is a big asset and simplifies the job, no doubt adding savings as well.
The price for the job was very competitive compared with other quotations; but I am 100% sure the service was levels above what I would have received via any other contractor.
Special thanks to Bobby Barnes for all his help and advice who project managed the job throughout and was very attentive and considerate.
Mr Richard Johnson
New solar panels
After about 2 weeks of internet searching, countless phone calls from Solar companies, we finally came across NXTGEN Energy and I think as soon as I was on the Phone with Bobby, I was like this is someone who generally knows what he is talking about and knew what would work best for my specific needs and what else can I say except what a Bang on choice I had made!
From start to finish it felt like a breeze, Had Scaffolding up on a Wednesday, Installers came Thursday & Friday, then the Scaffolding came down a couple days later, Even my neighbours was like bloody hell that was fast!
Good communication on the handover so I can get up to speed on how the app and system works and I can already see my electricity use from the grid off my Smart Energy Meter reader is starting to save me money, so I am a Very Happy Customer.
Thank you so much NXTGEN you are highly recommended.

Highly recommend NxtGen
Highly recommend NXTGEN.
To me the main issue was a high quality installation, and they delivered that.
I did my homework, shopped around, many competitors tried to put them down saying they are just a scaffolding company, but the results were excellent.
Try asking this company the really detailed questions about battery, inverter and panel combinations with logical strategy behind it, many floundered beyond the basic specs.
Bobby at NXTGEN is in a different league, he has a thorough, detailed understanding of what you need. I trusted him and he delivered exactly what he said he would.
Add that to the install team who were polite, friendly, helpful and hard working, I am very happy with the results.

Frequently Asked Questions about Solar Panels
The short answer is yes. Solar panels can cut 70% off your energy bills, and that proportion is growing as gas bills rise. No wonder installations have risen by 45% in the last three years, and shot up by 80% in the last year alone. But solar panels are an investment.
1-2 bedroom property, 8 solar panels generating about 2,100 kWh a year.
3 bedroom property, 12 solar panels generating about 3,100 kWh a year.
4-5 bedroom property, 16 solar panels generating about 4,200 kWh a year.
The answer depends on how much you pay for the solar panels, how much your electricity would otherwise cost, how much green energy the panels make from the sunshine you get, and whether you have a battery installed or not. The average payback period for solar PV is coming down and can be about 10 to 20 years depending on your system.
The industry standard for most solar panels’ lifespans is 25 to 30 years. Most reputable manufacturers offer production warranties for 25 years or more. The average break even point for solar panel energy savings occurs six to 10 years after installation.
Whilst there is no hard and fast rule as to how much value solar panels can add to the overall value of your property, suggestions range from 4% to 14% on average and they are certainly unlikely to detract from the value of your home, even if they aren’t the most attractive feature visually.
