But do you know where to start?<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve put together this handy article to explain what renewable energy is and how you can get started.<\/p>\n<h2>What is renewable energy?<\/h2>\n<p>Renewable energy is generated from natural resources like the sun, wind and water. It&#8217;s produced using technology which ensures that energy stores are naturally replenished without producing harmful carbon emissions.<\/p>\n<p>You can generate your own energy using renewable technology instead of buying it all from suppliers.<br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><\/p>\n<h2>Benefits of installing renewables<\/h2>\n<p>There are lots of fantastic reasons to start generating your own renewable energy:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Reduce your dependence on non-renewable energy<\/li>\n<li>Reduce your carbon footprint<\/li>\n<li>Making use of local resources<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reduce your energy bills<\/strong> &#8211; renewable energy is free to produce and you can even generate income from some technologies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Generating your own electricity<\/h2>\n<p>There are lots of different ways you can generate your own electricity:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Solar panels:<\/strong> Generate electricity from the sun that hits panels on your roof<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wind turbines:<\/strong> Large blades catch wind and drive a turbine that creates electricity<\/li>\n<li><strong>Micro-CHP:<\/strong> Micro combined heat and power generates heat and electricity at the same time from one energy source<\/li>\n<li>Hydro: Uses running water to generate electricity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Generating your own heat<\/h2>\n<p>As well as electricity you can generate your own heat. The top ways to do this include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Air source heat pumps:<\/strong> Generate heat from the air outside, even when it&#8217;s cold<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ground source heat pumps:<\/strong> Generate heat from deep in the ground<\/li>\n<li><strong>Biomass:<\/strong> Use wood chips, pellets or logs as fuel for a boiler<\/li>\n<li><strong>Solar:<\/strong> Use solar panels to generate heat for your water<\/li>\n<li><strong>Thermal stores:<\/strong> A way of storing renewable heat until it is required.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_93\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-93\" style=\"width: 202px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"http:\/\/renewable-energy.anytrades.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/renewable-energy-212x300.jpg\" alt=\"Renewable energy\" width=\"212\" height=\"300\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-93 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 212px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 212\/300;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-93\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/uk.pinterest.com\/pin\/422986589973098484\/\">Image via Pintereset<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>How to get started<\/h2>\n<p>If you want to generate your own energy, you need to make sure your home can make the most out of it. <\/p>\n<p>Before you invest in a renewable technology, consider a few important things:<\/p>\n<h4>Make your home energy efficient<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Insulate your home wherever you can<\/li>\n<li>Draught-proof<\/li>\n<li>Use your appliances responsibly<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Find out your options<\/h4>\n<p>You might not be able to have every type of renewable technology installed, so you should do your research before you make a final decision on what to get. Consider:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Solar thermal, heat pumps and biomass need space inside and outside your home<\/li>\n<li>Solar PV and solar thermal requires you to have enough space on your roof and have a roof facing a certain way<\/li>\n<li>Hydro needs a stream or river nearby<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Make sure you know what you want from renewable energy<\/h4>\n<p>Think about what you want to achieve. Do you want to save money? Reduce your carbon footprint? Both? There are other factors that affect what kind of technology to choose:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If your top priority is to reduce your carbon emissions, consider biomass or a large solar PV system<\/li>\n<li>If you&#8217;ve not got much money but want to reduce your carbon footprint, you could choose a cheaper option like solar hot water<\/li>\n<li>If you need to replace your boiler or central heating system anyway, it becomes cost-effective to get a new biomass boiler or heat pump.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Do your research<\/h4>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve narrowed down your options, you should do some research and start gathering quotes for the products you&#8217;re interested in. If you&#8217;ve got neighbours with renewables at their property, ask them for their opinions to help you decide.<\/p>\n<p>There are plenty of contractors in our network that will be able to provide quotes for renewable energy technologies.
