Microgeneration means creating your own electricity and/or heat using small, renewable energy systems. Unlike big power stations, microgeneration systems are installed right where you need them – on your site.
The main types of microgeneration technologies suitable for small and medium sized businesses include:
- Solar panels
- Wind turbines
- Micro hydro
