Brilliant news! The UK's Labour Government are going to make "plug in solar" legal.

Grab some panels from Lidl, hang them off your balcony or out your window, plug them in to your mains. Done!

For anyone reading this who thinks "you can't buy plugin solar panels from Lidl!" here's a link to Lidl Germany where that is definitely a thing:

Also, I need to tag @balkonsolar here. He's been promoting this in Germany for some time, and wrote to Ed Milliband last year to try and get some movement on it in the UK.
