Making your own energy can be more environmentally friendly and sustainable than buying from energy companies. It can also be cheaper. You can create energy from renewable sources such as the sun, wind and water. Creating energy for your own home is known as “micro-generation”.
Renewable energy creates low or no carbon when it’s generated, unlike fossil fuels. As well as often being cheaper to create yourself, you can also sell excess energy back to the national grid. Despite these money-saving possibilities, it’s also important to bear in mind that home renewable energy systems can be quite expensive to set up but more than pay for themselves over time.
The type of micro-generation that suits you will depend on a number of factors such as your energy needs, your home and the weather. For example, you’ll need to live somewhere sufficiently windy for a wind turbine to generate enough energy. Similarly, you will need to have enough surface area facing south for solar panels to be possible. In some cases a combination of technologies can be the best solution.
