Despite government commitment to helping homeowners to achieve reduced levels of energy consumption, the installation of a wind turbine still requires planning permission in most cases.

Any homeowner or business owner who would like to make money from their property could do so by investing in solar panels and taking advantage of the Feed-in-Tariff (FiT).

Wind turbine installation company "Maden Design and Build"is enjoying rapid expansion thanks to the surge of interest in renewable energy generation thanks to the Feed In Tariffs.

UK micro wind turbine manufacturer Quietrevolution have secured orders in Germany for their innovative turbines designed specifically for operating in densely populated urban areas either on roof-tops or as a stand-alone installation.

A Shropshire farmer is taking full advantage of the feed in tariff by installing an 80kW wind turbine and now is setting up a consultancy to help other farmers do the same.

New Feed in Tariff Rates from April 2010 to March 2012 came into force from 1st April 2010 which offer payments not only for electricity you feed back into the grid, but you also get paid for the energy you use, and it's tax free!Add to this the money you'll save on ever-increasing electricity bills and you could be in for saving a tidy sum, as well as the planet.
