There are lots of different renewable energy technologies available for the home. Solar panels are the most well known, but though they can work well even in cloudy conditions, they may not be the best system for you.
Ground source heat pumps are the most efficient systems and completely invisible once installed, but they are expensive to install and require a garden. Air source heat pumps may be a good option for those without any outdoor space. Wind turbines are effective but you may experience problems with neighbours concerned about noise and aesthetics.
