What are the options for reducing energy usage and can I get paid for using them
General Opinion
- One of the more cutting edge renewable energy sources currently available is geo-thermal (ground source heat pumps) which are gaining in popularity, and has been used in Australian public buildings for many years.
- Ground source heat pumps can also be used to COOL your home in summer
- More common are photovoltaic solar electricity panels and gas boosted solar hot water systems that can be designed so as to blend in with the building
- Connect Solar to the Grid and you could get Paid for the excess energy you put into your utility supplier
