Renewable energy company Arcadia Power has launched a scheme in which people renting a home, or who are living in a region where solar production is weak, can buy electricity from a solar panel located anywhere in the country, taking it with them if they move. Arcadia Power’s Portable Panel remotely connects householders to a panel producing electricity. Any credits are transferred to the owner's bill, with energy production viewed in real time. The system was developed by the National Grid and will be rolled out across England later this year.
