More than a third of UK households considering solar panels

More than a third (35 per cent) of UK households are considering installing solar panels in the next five years, according to research by Accenture.

The annual New Energy Consumer research, which surveyed 652 UK energy consumers, found that the increase from 8 per cent of households considering installing solar panels was “predominantly driven by a desire to become more energy independent”.

The survey also discovered that 73 per cent of respondents said their supplier could do more to help them reduce their energy bills.

Only 24 per cent stated that hey understood the reasons provided by the energy companies for the recent price increases.
