Plug-in solar panels could save households up to $370 a year – if Australia made them legal as in the UK
A plug-in solar kit that costs about $1,000 ‘pays for itself in three years’, one expert says Millions of Australians could be saving up to $370 a year on energy bills and doing their bit for the climate crisis if Labor followed the UK’s lead in legalising plug-in solar panels, an advocacy group has said. Plug-in solar refers to small standalone solar units that could be attached to balconies or used in back yards and plugged into power points, offsetting the energy used by household appliances.
