In a modern society we are all heavily dependent on a reliable and constant supply of energy to heat and light our homes and run business and transport systems.

In the UK the vast majority of our energy needs are met by the burning of fossil fuels which are a major contributor to climate change and global warming. In the future the proportion of energy generated by the use of renewable energy systems will increase significantly in part due to government policy and a change in public attitudes.

The choice of which renewable energy system(s) is most suitable for a specific project is dependent on a large number of site specific factors which are explained further in the PDF flowcharts below:
