Solar panels will obviously not work well in all houses, but where they do there should be sufficient incentives to add them. Large scale use of dedicated house batteries or EVs to time-shift energy draw from the grid would also make the whole system much more efficient.

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(
Build a fucking solar farm! It's more efficient!
This bill might have been well-meaning, but it's honestly not realistic to put solar panels on every home. Some homes just aren't well sited to get full benefit from solar panels, especially when you're far from the equator. I would love to have solar panels on my house, and my government has reimbursement programs available for solar panel installs so I went seeking quotes. Unfortunately I was told point blank by multiple installers that the panels wouldn't offset their own cost in my situation. Too much tree shade, not enough roof slope facing the equator. Disappointing, but I'd rather see those panels get installed on homes that can make the most of them.
