What is renewable energy? Solar vs Heat Pumps

Solar panels, or photovoltaics (PV), capture the sun’s energy and convert it into electricity to use in your home.

* Installing solar panels lets you use free, renewable, clean electricity to power your appliances. You can sell extra electricity to the grid or store it for later use.

* Heat pumps are an energy efficient, low carbon way to heat your home. They’re suitable for almost all types of home and, depending on what heating system you’re replacing, could save you money on your energy bills.
