Earth Notes: Microgeneration: Producing and Storing Renewable Energy @Home
Auto-updated 2025-06-20.By Damon Hart-Davis.
Making electricity and heat @Home or otherwise distributed, grid-tied or off-grid, from solar or wind or otherwise! #microgen #lowCarbon
How to go about making and storing your own electricity, grid-tied and off-grid, with distributed microgeneration from sun and wind mainly, but in any case small-scale. Generating and storing heat, and other related pieces also.
