Over the last few weeks, home energy has suddenly become a much bigger talking point in the UK. New legislation around plug-in solar comes into effect this week, opening the door to simpler solar setups and, inevitably, a wave of new products designed to help households generate more of their own electricity.
The timing is particularly interesting for EcoFlow, which launched its new Stream home battery range last Thursday. The compact 5kWh systems are designed to store solar energy so you can use it when you need it, but between the changing rules, different Stream models and upcoming plug-in solar products, it's easy to get confused about how everything actually fits together.
