Here’s a handy guide we’ve found on the EECA website. Power from the people: a guide to micro-generation has been produced by the EECA in response to ongoing requests for information on micro-generation from the public. From the EECA:
The guide it is intended to provide guidance to both home and business owners who are interested in generating their own electricity, but need more information before going ahead. It is directed at the layperson who already has some basic knowledge of micro-generation. There is a glossary at the back which explains the technical terms used.
The section ‘Different ways of using micro-generation’ explains the difference (and implications) between being off-grid and gridconnected. The subsequent sections explore the characteristics, costs, and things to consider for each of the main micro-generation technologies – PV, wind, and hydro – plus the additional components needed to complete your generating system. The final sections outline a step-by-step process for determining the best system for your needs, and how to get in touch with the right people and resources to help you.
