British households can buy plug-in solar panels from August 27 after a government legal change. Major retailers like Currys and B&Q will sell DIY setups, enabling flats and rented homes to generate electricity, potentially saving £70-£110 annually on energy bills.
The UK has legalized plug-in solar panels, effective August 27, allowing households to install approved kits to reduce energy bills. The new legislation caps panel output at 2000W DC, with micro-inverters limited to 800 volt amps, fulfilling a government pledge.
Major UK retailers like Currys, B&Q, Amazon, and Lidl met with the energy minister to discuss selling "balcony solar panels." These plug-in devices aim to help renters and flat dwellers generate their own electricity, cut bills, and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
