YouGen

At YouGen we're big fans of renewable energy to heat and light our homes. However, as with most new technology, we know it can be difficult to find out what's best. It's not always possible to phone a friend and get a recommendation or find out whether a biomass boiler will heat your house more efficiently than an air source heat pump; or a wind turbine will generate more power than solar panels.

YouGen bring together people interested in renewable energy to provide the answers you need. We're building a community where people can share their experiences, recommend their suppliers and get advice from experts.

As well as accessing information about the various types of microgeneration, visitors can check which are suitable for their home and situation, and find tips about what to ask potential suppliers. They can also search for local suppliers of their chosen technology, and contact them through the site.

Our aim is to make it easy for people to choose the right form of microgeneration for their home and to find someone they trust to install it.

If you've got renewable energy installed already, you can help others by rating your supplier's service under our five categories.

If you're a supplier, why not add your company to the YouGen site, and ask your customers to rate your service where everyone can see it.
