Do you know your biomass from your solar thermal?
2011 is set to be a key year for microgeneration and to ensure you don’t get lost in a world of ‘tech talk’ NICEIC has launched its very own jargon buster.
The guide provides clear definitions of the key terms commonly used within the industry and is a useful tool for those considering installing renewable energy devices on their homes.
“More than 100,000 homes in the UK currently have microgeneration installations,” said NICEIC’s Chief operating Officer Emma McCarthy.
“We expect this number to rise rapidly in 2011 as homeowners take advantage of the opportunity to produce their own ‘free’ energy. We predict that it won’t be long until private residential homeowners learn about the benefits of Feed-in-Tariffs and the incentives available.
“However, we also understand that to those not in the know, Microgeneration can seem a very complicated and confusing world – particularly with some of the scientific language involved.
“We hope this guide will go some way to giving people a clearer understanding of the industry and give them the confidence and courage to engage with professionals about microgeneration products and installations.”
NICEIC is at the forefront of the renewable industry and has been granted a licence to run a Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS), designed to protect the consumer by ensuring independent evaluation of microgeneration product and installers.
