How can I install renewable energy such as solar panels?14 April 2011
Our free booklet Feed-in tariffs and the renewable heat incentive shows you how to generate your own renewable energy, cut your bills - and reduce your carbon emissions.
You can also order Off the Grid by Duncan Kerridge from the Centre for Alternative Technology. This gives information on how to design, install and look after small-scale renewable energy systems and live unplugged from the grid.
Here are some more ways you can help support clean energy:
- Join our online campaigns to tackle climate change.
- Get renewable energy for your home with our partners JoJu Solar and Good Energy.
