The Cost of a Solar PV System
What are the different factors that impact the final price of a solar PV installation, including the size of the array and the type of panels?
Introduction To Wind Turbines
Wind Turbines take advantage of kinetic wind energy turning it into electricity that can be used in the home, helping to lower bills.
Solar prices are crashing – great for consumers!
Solar Prices are Getting Cheaper In a world that seems to be getting more expensive on a daily basis it is refreshing to read that one of the great hopes for our future energy security is significantly reducing in price…
Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS)
What exactly is the Microgeneration Certification Scheme? You will see across the site that we recommend installing microgeneration products that have the MCS stamp of approval. This is an eligibility requirement both for the Government Feed-in Tariff (FiTs) and the Renewable…
Micro Hydroelectric Power
Hydroelectric power on a residential scale It is well known that energy is generated by building dams over giant underwater turbines; however it is possible to use micro hydro generators (<100kW) or pico hydro generators (<5kW) on more modest water flows.…
Maximising Wind Turbine Return
How do you get the best out of your wind installation? This section provides tips to ensure that your wind system reaches its production potential.
Hydroelectric Power
Hydroelectric power involves harnessing the kinetic energy of moving water to produce electricity. Power source used in the UK to manage peaks in demand.
Geothermal Power
Geothermal power involves harnessing the heat trapped within the Earth's crust. This heat is used to convert water to steam that can drive turbines.
Wind Turbine Components
Wind technology doesn't simply involve the turbine, this section details all the components you need to make a successful wind installation.
