Currys has launched a pilot scheme in three of its stores selling off-the-shelf solar panel green technology.

Shoppers in West Thurrock, Essex, and Fulham and Croydon in Greater London will be able to snap up the £1,000 panels, manufactured by Sharp.

An installed system that could halve the electricity bill of a typical three bedroom home costs £9,000, Currys says. Customers visiting a participating Currys branch will be offered an in-store consultation followed by a free home assessment to check that their property is suitable. The retailer says the panels will help "future proof" homes against rising fuel prices.
