Solar and batteries urged as frontline tool against fuel poverty

Original: A permanent discount: Why solar and batteries deserve a frontline role in tackling fuel poverty

BusinessGreen argues that rooftop solar and battery storage should play a central role in tackling fuel poverty, effectively acting as a permanent discount on household energy bills rather than a temporary subsidy. The piece frames the technology as a structural fix for households struggling with high energy costs, and calls for policy support to put panels and batteries within reach of low-income homes.

Why now: Energy bills and fuel poverty remain pressing concerns, prompting debate over long-term solutions like household solar.
