Residential Support Program

If renewable energy systems such as solar PV, solar thermal, geothermal, small wind power, and fuel cells are installed in residential homes, the government provides partial financial support for installation costs.
This program reduces fossil fuel consumption while simultaneously lowering electricity bills and carbon emissions.
