Hi and Welcome - thanks for dropping by
Hopefully, if you’ve found this site, you are looking for information about how you can start generating your own energy on a small scale - either for your home, business or community.
The main purpose of MicroGenerationForums.co.uk is to try and encourage home owners in the UK to themselves become MicroGenerators by providing a place to ask questions and learn more. Much of the information and technology you will find here is also appliccable to larger projects suitable for communities and small businesses.
Whatever your level of interest or ability, we are here to try and help you - whether you are simply seeking a basic outline of how you can generate your own energy to those embarking on installing and even building their own MicroGeneration system.
Perhaps you are just starting out and just want a general outline of the possibilities. Our general discussion areas provide a place to ask general questions and find information about renewable energy in the home. If you have specific questions about a particular technology, then we provide sections about all the main MicroGeneration technologies including wind power, solar power (solar panels and PV/photovoltaic), heat pumps and Biofuels.
Experienced MicroGenerators needed!
If you have experience of designing, installing or running MicroGeneration projects, you can help by:
Please take some time to check out our forums and see if you can pitch in with some help. The chances are that if one person is asking a question, then many more people have the same question.. so by simply providing an answer, the likelihood is that you will be helping many more people learn about MicroGeneration.
We also have a MicroGeneration case studies forum for you to share your experiences in a single post so that other users can get a feel not only for what is involved with installing a system but also with what the reality is of producing your own energy once the system has been installed.
We hope you enjoy the site and find it helpful - if you have any questions or
