Plug-in solar panels are expected to become available in shops across the UK, with the government saying the technology could help households significantly cut their energy bills.
The announcement concerns panels designed to be plugged in, although the supplied information does not provide further details about how they operate, which retailers may sell them or when they will reach shops.
The government’s claim focuses on the potential effect on household energy costs. No figures, timetable or further explanation of the expected savings have been provided. The latest position is that the panels are coming to retail outlets, but more information will be needed before their availability and likely impact can be assessed.
