Have you embraced renewable energy?

Morning Call

Available for over a year

Scotland's solar power capacity has increased by about a third in the past year, according to new figures. More than 35,000 homes and 600 business premises now have solar photo-voltaic (PV) systems, December figures from regulator Ofgem show. The capacity of these systems has reached 140 megawatts, a rise of 32% from 106 megawatts last year. However, solar power capacity is still small compared to wind energy which has almost 40 times the installed capacity. Green energy campaigners are calling on the Scottish government to do more to help homes and businesses harness the power of the sun. Louise asks: Have you embraced renewable energy?
