Via Green Answers<\/figcaption><\/figure>Buying solar power in the UK has become literally as easy as pie since one of Britain\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s largest supermarket chains announced it is selling panels from its stores and website.
\n<\/p>\n

According to Reuters<\/a>, Retail giant Sainsbury\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s has entered into a partnership with British Gas to offer small solar panels and loft insulation. A 2.1Kw solar PV system is retailing for $16,310 to install and set up. The supermarket’s Energy department delivers and installs the units besides giving customers 10,000 Nectar points (the name of its reward system) worth $75.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sainsbury is planning to educate consumers about the benefits of small-scale renewable energy with in-store advisors all over the UK. This will come in handy since the government is introducing schemes whereby households will get paid for each unit of renewable electricity produced. Estimates are that consumers will save nearly $1,000 that way.<\/p>\n

Small-scale renewable energy<\/a> is seen by many as a greener option that massive farms since it requires no additional space.<\/p>\n
