Highly recommend New Dawn solar

I had the opportunity to get quotes from several local and national companies supplying and fitting solar panels, Batteries and car chargers. In the end we opted for New Dawn Solar due to the personal touch and regular communications between Daniel, Mel and the team. The first visit was great with no upselling at all and time taken to explain the process and what our needs maybe for now and the future. The follow up pack with breakdown of costs was easy to read and understand including the payment structure and payback calculations. The second site visit was more detailed with roof surveys in person and via drones. days later the scaffolding was erected and the next day two engineers fitted 14 solar panels, A sigenergy Battery and a Car charger all in one day with meticulous care. I can't fault New Dawn and the team for anything great customer service and I truly highly recommend the team if you're looking to get solar panels or batteries fitted.

It has been a few months since the installation. I’m pleased to say the experience has been excellent from start to finish. Daniel and the team were fantastic throughout the entire process, professional, responsive, and highly knowledgeable. They took the time to explain every step clearly, kept us informed, and delivered exactly what was promised. The quality of the workmanship was outstanding. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Daniel and his team to anyone looking for solar panels for their home.

We had 11 panels fitted on 4 roof faces (so quite complex and initially it was only believed 9 panels would be achievable but the installers managed to fit 11 in appropriate positions). We also had a battery and and an EV charger fitted. The price was not the cheapest but was not far away, and the detail provided re the equipment specs and how the work would be completed was far and away the most useful. The installation of both the scaffolding and the equipment was timely, efficient and very professional. To date the equipment is working very well and delivering all expectations. Daniel at NDS was supportive throughout the whole process especially during the granting of an export MPAN from the DNO. I would, and have happily recommended NDS to friends and neighbours considering installing solar

I would be pleased to recommend New Dawn Solar for your solar installation. From my first contact through to the site visit and subsequent installation I found this company to be professional and customer focused . The installation was carried out with little fuss and I am very pleased with the cosmetic aspect of the wiring and panels. Dan kept me informed throughout the process. It's been over 9 months since the installation and everything is working fine.

Fast, Efficient, Reasonably Priced
We sought 3 quotations for solar panels. New dawn were the only company where someone was willing to visit our hosue and discuss the installation. The work was carried out with a short lead time and the installers were tidy, courteous and knowledgable. New Dawn remained contactable and helpful after installation, particularly where we experienced a problem with the hardware/app from Foxess who are remote and difficult to contact from an end user point of view. Would definately recommend New Dawn. The system is excellent.

Thanks so much for the kind words and I'm delighted to hear that you are happy with the system. Fox are very good on customer service and have always turned things around very quickly when needed, far better than some of the other leading brands in this space I might add!! That said, I think you need the support of the installer as its difficult to have a dialogue with them directly if there is an issue. Obviously, more than happy to help and step in as required and glad we could get your issue with the WIFI turned around promptly for you. Thanks again for the kind words and always here to help!!

Glad to hear that the system is working so well for you!! Solar shouldn't be complicated, if its explained clearly and with the customers best interests at heart it should become quite clear as to the best options for you. Great to know we managed to tick all of the boxes for you on this and thanks for the kind words!!
Best decision we’ve made to help reduce my monthly outgoings.
New Dawn were brilliant in my opinion. I was sceptical to begin with about the solar stuff but after nearly a year I will say it’s been a very worthwhile venture, my wife even likes them. New dawn solar installed a good sized system on my land, I just wish I have gone for more battery storage (not new dawns fault, mine for being tight). Actually I wish I’d gone for a larger system entirely. During the winter months I can buy cheaper night time electric and use it during the day, keeping cost down. And since march we have been able to bank excess electric we sell back to the grid which in turn is going to make a massive difference to winter fuel costs. This is due to the octopus energy flux tariff. As you can probably tell I would recommend new dawn solar.
Customer in West Northamptonshire Posted on 19/09/2025 (Reviewer did not use service)
The trader replied (on 01/10/2025)
I'm really delighted that both you and your wife are loving the system. With your usage it would have been great to add some extra panels but I think we hit the sweet spot on the aesthetics too which I know were an important factor. The extra batteries I'm sure will become and extra addition down the line and this was one of the reasons why I went with that particular line as it is really easy to scale. Interesting that you are on the Flux Tarif, there may be a discussion to be had there as you may be better off just getting the 15p on the export all day. Happy to crunch the numbers on this at some point if you want...

I can’t believe my luck in finding Daniel Rosser of New Dawn Solar, who arranged a 16-panel solar installation on our property. Daniel took a very personal and thorough involvement, taking all my wishes into consideration. The workmen he employed to carry out this installation and his office staff are first class and attentive; nothing was too much trouble. I am delighted with my New Dawn Solar installation, and it has been performing extremely well. I would highly recommend this company.

We were investigating a solar installation and came across New Dawn Solar, local to us. Daniel did us an initial proposal, followed by a vist to confirm. The quotation was very competitive compared to others we were talking to and we decided to go ahead. The whole process was really easy and Daniel and the installation team, as well as the office support were fantastic, very responsive and couldn't be more helpful. The installation was completed quickly and to a good standard. I'd certainly reccomend New Dawn Solar to anyone.

We wanted to give the solar panels a few months of use before leaving a review—and they’ve exceeded our expectations. The whole process was efficient from start to finish. Scaffolders, roofers, installers, and the electrician were all supplied, and the entire project was completed in just 3 days. The quality of the products used was far superior to those offered by other companies we received quotes from. We also really appreciated Daniel’s friendly and professional approach throughout. We’re absolutely over the moon with how the system looks and performs—and we’ve become totally obsessed with checking our output! It’s so satisfying seeing what the panels are generating each day. Would 100% recommend. Andy and Jo

He was responsible for the complete project, from agreeing location of the panels and associated equipment, quotation, site survey, supervising the installation and system support following completion (after sales support). I called him 3 months after completion and his support was immediate. His price was also very competitive

Our local council was offering a solar PV installation group buying scheme and, as part of my due diligence, I did some counter research and came across New Dawn Solar Systems and I'm very glad I did. Not only were they very slightly cheaper than the council offering, their kit was a much better spec and higher capacity. Daniel was, by far, the most helpful and knowledgeable sales advisor I spoke to who responded quickly and thoroughly to all my queries. Once I'd signed up, a site visit quickly followed and Daniel generated their draft technical proposal on the day. We only had to wait a couple of weeks for the installation. Once on site the panel installer was able to access and accurately measure our roof dimensions and realised that it could not accommodate the original configuration, but New Dawn Solar were flexible and, with minimal extra costs, managed to fit the required number of panels but across two roof spaces. Very happy Date of experience: 13 June 2024

Daniel and team were great throughout. I originally contacted them in October when we started the processing of buying our new house and he provided a remote BoM & Quote for the new property. By the time we finally moved in January I contacted him again to get the process started. He very quickly provided a new BoM & Quote that was better equipment and cheaper due to changes in the supply chain. Later he came and did a survey, was very detailed in his walk through and explanation and advised we could fit more panels due to the size of the roof. The documentation as part of the quote was very detailed and just what was needed to show proper payback. In fact it was a little on the pessimistic side after I reran the numbers myself after having the panels in for a few months. The install was fast and efficient, in and out in 1 day and from then I've not had a single complaint. Post install Daniel & team have contacted me to make sure we're still happy and we are. To a point that I've recommended them to neighbours in the street as being both great value for money and having great customer service. All of this comes from someone who deeply understands Low Carbon Tech as I work for a software company that builds the technology to enable better decarbonisation of the grid.

The installation was all completed in one day. Scaffolding was installed late thursday evening, the system was completely installed on the Friday, despite bad weaher, and the scaffolding was taken down on Friday evening.

Daniel from New Dawn Solar installed for us 12 DMEG solar panels with Enphase iq8 micro inverters and three Enphase iq 5P batteries. The installation was quick, efficient and professional as was the administration and follow up commissioning. The comprehensive handover pack covered all the necessary certifications. We are delighted with the system performance and happy to both use again for future system development and recommend to others. The reason for choosing New Dawn Solar, after a number of other companies proposals, was Daniel's willingness to take account of our requirements and provide a detailed and competitive quote that aligned with what we wanted. We are very satisfied with the results.
