Given the UK’s variable weather, it’s unlikely that solar panels will generate enough energy to completely power a home, but they could make a significant dent in energy bills. And with the government paying households for generating energy in the first place, and the added option of selling excess energy back to the National Grid, having a solar panel and storage battery could add up to significant savings over a number of years.
