A new era of home solar power has begun, as plug-in solar panels become legal in the UK for the first time. Argos is the first major retailer to start selling DIY kits that could help save on household energy bills.
Households are now able to buy specially designed solar systems that generate electricity and feed it directly into a home through a standard three-pin socket – potentially giving renters, flat-dwellers and homeowners without suitable roofs a cheaper route into solar panels.
