Our Home Energy Generation Selector will help you to identify the technologies that might be suitable
to generate heat or electricity for your home.
Once you have your results, we recommend you seek more specific advice about the products, planning permission and grants.
Before installing any home energy generation technologies, it is essential to minimise your energy demand by ensuring your home is fully insulated,
and using energy efficient lighting and appliances.
These are the most cost effective ways of reducing your energy use.
Why not use our Carbon Cutter to find out more about these measures?
Planning to build your own home? Explore our guides on low and
zero carbon energy technologies in the home.
Generating your own energy as part of a local community group can offer advantages over individual installations. Visit our Community area if you are thinking of installing
community scale renewable energy. If you are in Scotland you may also be interested in exploring our community renewables projects.
All you need to do is register with us. It's easy and you can save your progress on the questionnaire. It only takes a moment and will allow you to take full advantage of all the features on the questionnaire.
