EDF Energy is offering its customers solar panels for free, complete with energy storage kits, if they agree to buy the subsidised power generated from that solar energy for 20 years. The company has been working on a similar scheme in Germany since last year, and it will be rolling out across Europe over the next few months. It is offering a system that generates 3.24kW from £6,925. Assuming the customers have the correct angle and direction of roof, it is expected that homeowners would be able to pay off the capital for the system in 12 years through feed-in tariffs and reduced energy bills.
