"The ability to produce clean, green energy from homes can help to lessen our carbon emissions and bring down fuel bills.
"We, as individuals, must make a contribution to the fight against climate change, as we can't just expect big institutions or governments to solve the problem for us, we all have to make a difference.”
Minister of State for Energy Malcolm Wicks MP.
