This is a particularly cynical view from someone privileged enough to be able to afford solar panels.
I have panels too. But I also have friends that can't pay their energy bill this month.

(there is now an income limit which I disagree with but whatever...)
I told my neighbours and enthusiastically recommended them.
They "weren't sure". Here we are 2 years later and they're concerned about energy prices.
The problem here is not and should not be money. I'd be all for free insulation, solar panels, better boilers, etc. And we rightly already do all that.
Then people say no because doing things is scary and why bother when you'll just be bailed out? That's the "small-c conservative" mindset we need to get out of. It causes 101 other social issues too but now I am just ranting.
I hope the link above inspires others to get them too
