An advocacy group claims that legalizing plug-in solar panels in Australia could help millions save up to $370 annually on energy bills. These small, standalone units can be easily installed on balconies or in backyards, allowing households to offset their energy consumption. Currently, while available for purchase, these systems cannot be legally connected to power sources in Australia.
The push for legalization follows the UK’s recent approval of plug-in solar technology, which could benefit renters and those in apartments who face barriers to traditional solar installations. Experts suggest that a $1,000 kit could pay for itself within three years.
