Next Generation Energy
Names like Dylan, Jarrod, Gabe and Darcy earn specific praise for no-pressure quotes and team-based installs.
The strongest pattern is name-specific praise for a stable local crew. Dylan handles quotes and explains options without overselling, Jarrod designs systems after real questions, and installers like Gabe, Darcy, Sam and Caleb get thanked repeatedly for neat, efficient work. Customers also mention the office repeatedly for sorting rebate paperwork and chasing up quotes without frustration. One reviewer had 54 years in building and called the whole team genuinely exceptional. Return work matters too. Several customers first had panels installed years ago then came back for batteries, which is a stronger vote than a single good install. If you're about to book, ask whether Jarrod or Dylan will handle your quote and which installer will be on site. The praise here is unusually team-wide, not riding on one star tradie.

About Next Generation Energy
Dylan gets praised for explaining solar options without any pressure, and Jarrod designs systems around what you actually need. The install crew, Gabe, Darcy, Sam and the others, turn up on time, work as a team, and leave the place clean. Reviews mention 7.7kW to 13.2kW solar installs plus GoodWe and Tesla Powerwall 3 batteries, so they handle serious upgrades, not just starter kits. They sort the government rebate paperwork for you, which saves a lot of head-scratching with Victorian and NSW approvals. The online portal monitoring gets specific praise from customers who like watching grid imports drop to nothing. They also clean, test and fault-find existing solar systems, picking up issues owners didn't know they had. Emilee in admin deals patiently with quote changes and slow decision-makers, which tells you the back office is solid too. One customer with 54 years in building called the crew exceptional and genuinely the next generation of tradesmen. Pricing comes up as competitive more than once, with no hard sell and no deposit games. If you want a long-term local crew that can start with panels and later add a battery, these blokes are set up for that. They do remove and reinstall work too when you're re-roofing, so the range goes wider than fresh installs.
Best for: full residential solar and battery installs in and around Lavington, repeat battery upgrades after initial panel installs, and solar servicing with cleaning and fault finding.

Does Next Generation Energy handle the government rebate paperwork?+
Yes. A few reviews specifically thank them for helping with Victorian and NSW approval processes. One customer mentioned Jarrod walking them through the Victorian approval process with diagrams and pricing clearly laid out.
Who will actually install my system?+
The team varies by job, but reviews repeatedly name Gabe, Darcy, Sam, Dylan, Jake, Jordan and apprentice Caleb as the hands-on installers. Customers describe a team that works together rather than one person doing everything.
Do they come back for later battery work after a panel install?+
Yes, that is a strong pattern. Several reviewers had panels installed first, then returned to Next Generation Energy for a battery and inverter later. That repeat work says they aren't just after one sale.
Can they service and clean existing solar, not just install new systems?+
Yes. Reviews mention full system cleans, panel testing, and fault finding. One customer had a small fault identified during a clean that they were unaware of, and the panels worked far better afterwards.
What brands of battery and inverter do they work with?+
Reviews specifically mention GoodWe and Tesla Powerwall 3 batteries plus GoodWe and Fronius inverters. One customer noted Next Generation Energy were the only local supplier who fully understood the Fronius three-string setup.
