Cut cost of loans for solar panels on UK homes, ministers urged

A report suggests that the UK government could help lower-income households afford solar panels by reducing loan costs. It proposes using "solar bonds" to fund the initiative, which would lower interest rates and make solar energy more accessible. This could save households hundreds of pounds annually on energy bills.
