Whilst this is a great move I cannot help but wonder how many "accidents" are going to happen when someone falls off a balcony when setting the solar panels up....

I am thinking of getting a small unit to use for charging things/using tools. I am certainly not sticking panels on my house though...not sure if I could even if I wanted to, because it's in a conservation area.

As a little challenge, during covid, I only ever charged my phone from a solar power bank, it took a few days to charge the battery in winter, but got 2 full phone charges out of it.

I think the majority of houses should get some amount of solar, but then that isn't a surprise.

Definitely, but I live in a 400 year old cottage, and I certainly do not want solar panels all over it. Though I do have a barn, that could probably have some on, but I am thinking of knocking it down (before it falls down)

The fucking state of it.
