Case Studies
As energy costs steadily increase and climate change impacts us all, low-carbon technology is set to play a significantly larger role in the future of UK energy. Take a look at the homeowners who chose to install renewables in their homes and the installers completing the installations, providing the story from both perspectives and showcasing the positive impacts on both homes and businesses, plus the part MCS has played in this. Sharing stories like these continues to give everyone confidence in choosing to power their homes with technologies like solar panels and heat pumps.
Below is a selection of small-scale renewable case studies, as part of low carbon landscapes, set out to showcase the national success of renewables across the UK.
