Renewable energy for Fife homes

Fife’s homes include coastal fishing cottages, historic stone houses, former mining towns and growing modern estates around Dunfermline and Glenrothes. Some villages and rural properties are off the gas grid, while many towns have mains gas and housing well suited to solar PV.

We help Fife homeowners understand which renewable technologies could work for their home and what Home Energy Scotland funding may be available, then introduce them to an experienced MCS-certified installer.
