What are these pages?
During the Community Renewable Opportunity Portal’s (CROP) development it became apparent that there is a myriad of advice and guidance on renewable energy already available online. The CROP recognises this and is structured to provide quick access to relevant and reliable information for the reader, whether they are new to the topic or not.
Click on the relevant links below for access to the information or view our matrix to see which renewables might meet your community objectives. We also have a flowchart to give you an indication of the issues you need to be considering.
