UK Households Can Now Install Plug-in Balcony Solar Panels
UK households free to install plug-in balcony solar panels from end of August
Starting late August, UK renters and flat owners can legally install plug-in balcony solar panels to cut energy bills. Major retailers like Currys, B&Q, and Amazon will sell these DIY systems, which plug directly into standard wall sockets. While they won't power a whole home, these 800-watt units could save households up to £110 annually, offering a new path to energy independence amidst soaring global prices.
For renters, flat owners and anyone on a budget, this opens up clean energy in a way we haven't seen before.
