Conclusions

• The potential for small scale renewable technologies in rural locations is great because of the natural resources available and climatic conditions.
  
  
• By applying our scoring system to each case study we have proven that it is a useful tool in the first stage of narrowing down the technologies.
  
  
• Our technical analysis successfully showed the potential energy supply for each technology. For the technically feasible technologies an economic and environmental analysis was also undertaken.
  
  
• By matching the demand and supply and undertaking a cost analysis, a recommendation for the most suitable technology can be made.
  
  
• Small scale renewable systems can provide substantial savings over conventional technologies.
  
  
• Small scale renewables can make a larger contribution to the heating demand than to the electricity demand.
  
  
• Energy efficiency measures will improve the potential of small scale renewable technologies by reducing the demand.
