What if you could lower your carbon footprint, slash your energy bills and even make money by storing and selling energy? It may sound like a far-fetched dream, but it’s fast becoming a reality as UK homeowners transition from powering their homes on fossil fuels to renewables.
Renewables are forms of energy generated from natural sources, for example the sun, wind, biomass and water, such as rivers and oceans. These are naturally replenished by nature, unlike fossil fuels, which must be extracted from the ground via drilling of oil and gas wells and mining. These processes release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and create a blanket effect by trapping the sun’s heat and causing climate change.
