Renewable Energy

Adopting renewable energy for your home allows you to have a more sustainable life, without changing your lifestyle. A simple switch that helps the planet, people and your costs. 

Our power comes from renewable energy sources such as the sun, wind, and hydro, which are constantly replenished. So unlike fossil fuels, there will be a long-term supply of energy. 

Plus, these natural resources supply a cleaner and healthier way to generate energy, and they will last for generations to come.

Solar Power

The most common renewable energy source, which converts solar radiation into electricity. Sunlight causes electrical charges to move due to the internal electric field inside the PV cell, allowing electricity to flow and provide power.

Wind turbine farm
Wind Power
Kinetic energy from the wind pushes the blades which spins an internal generator to produce electricity.

Hydroelectric Power
Environmentally friendly energy that is created by the movement of water against a submerged turbine to turn a generator, similar to wind power.
