Plug-in solar panels could save households up to $370 a year – if Australia legalised them like the UK

world

The Guardian reports that an advocacy group claims millions of Australians could cut their electricity bills by up to three hundred seventy dollars a year if the Labor government legalises plug‑in solar panels, emulating the United Kingdom’s approach. It adds that a typical plug‑in solar kit costs about one thousand dollars and, according to one expert, pays for itself within three years, though no legislative move has been announced yet.
