What is renewable energy?

Renewable energy is energy produced from sources like the sun and wind that are naturally replenished and do not run out. Renewable energy can be used for electricity generation, space and water heating and cooling, and transportation.

Non-renewable energy, in contrast, comes from finite sources that could get used up, such as fossil fuels like coal and oil.

Before installing a renewable energy system, it's important to reduce your energy consumption and improve your home’s energy efficiency.
