The UK government has changed the law to permit the sale of plug-in balcony solar panels starting at the end of August, enabling renters and flat owners to potentially reduce their energy bills amid rising costs and the Iran war. This move allows major retailers to market these panels for the first time, aligning the UK with millions of European households already using similar technology to generate their own power.
