Plug-in solar panels could save households up to £370 a year on energy bills, according to experts who say Australia should follow the UK in legalising them.
Potential savings and legal barriers
The panels, which can be plugged into a standard socket, are currently illegal in Australia, but are permitted in the UK. Experts argue that legalising them in Australia could provide significant financial relief to households struggling with energy costs.
Call for policy change
The push comes as energy prices remain a concern for many households. By adopting a similar approach to the UK, Australia could enable more residents to generate their own electricity and reduce reliance on the grid.
The potential savings of £370 a year highlight the economic benefit of such a policy change, making it an attractive option for policymakers to consider.
