Study shows solar panels could cut poor UK families' energy bills by 24%, but high costs hinder uptake.

However, high upfront costs limit adoption. The report suggests the government should introduce a means-tested support scheme to make solar panels more accessible, potentially lifting 1.2 million people out of fuel poverty.
