Feed in Tariff Good Energy fund ROCs Off-grid renewables pellet stove log boiler chip boiler log stove GSHP WSHP ASHP Highly location-specific Cost depends on ground type Cheap and easy to install but not as efficent as others Relatively inexpensive but needs a hot water tank Works very well with biomass Generally cheap fuel Needs manual loading Small and efficient Fuel storage space not so large Larger installations Bulky fuel but cheap Cheapest installation Resource is highly location-specific Use RETScreen (www.retscreen.net) or the online wind database to find an approximate windspeed (www.bwea.com/noabl) Expensive but reliable The most widely-available resource electricity storage = batteries why focus on off-grid? why renewables? what are the advantages? and the downsides? not car batteries!!! inverter More site-specific than wind and solar but highly efficient and reliable "I'd put my money on the sun and solar energy.
