Low cost solar panels

Published On: 21st April 2026

The Government has announced that ‘plug-in’ solar will be available in shops, offering households the opportunity to cut energy bills in response to conflict in the Middle East. Several energy companies have solar battery storage options.

New rules have been introduced for the majority of new homes in England to be built with solar panels and clean heating, fitted as standard to meet the requirements of the Future Homes and Buildings Standard.

By the end of 2026, energy companies with wind turbines are to offer discounted energy bills to customers on windy days.
