Over 40% of the UK's man-made CO2 emissions come from energy we use everyday, at home and when we travel*. Renewable energy is a cleaner, greener way of generating heat and electricity.
There are several natural sources of renewable energy, including the sun (solar), water (hydro) and wind power.
And now, if you generate your own electricity from a renewable source, you could get paid for it too.
Earn money from renewable energy
- Install solar PV and register for FiT, you will be paid for the energy you produce.
Feed-in Tariff is a Government initiative which could mean you'll be paid for the electricity you generate from a renewable source. You'll also be paid extra for the electricity you don't use as it will be fed into the Grid.
And, any payments are in addition to the savings you'll make by not having to buy all your electricity from your supplier.
To find out how much money you could earn, see our example for solar photovoltaic (PV) panels.
