Solar households should not be made to give away excess power to energy firms

Closed 81 signatures

What the petition asks

"The government has said households that install solar panels in the future (April 2019) will be expected to give away unused clean power for free to energy firms earning multimillion-pound profits". This is deeply unfair and gives no incentive to make green changes.
