Could Peel and stick' solar panels bring eco living closer to home?
Generating your own energy with solar panels used to be the preserve of only the darkest greens and most hardcore environmentalists, but a new type of lightweight 'sticky-back' solar panel could soon open up self sufficient living to the Blue Peter generation.
A company called Lumeta has developed a "peel and stick" design that should be much cheaper and easier to apply than the standard rack-mounted solar panel design. Lumeta's panels are apparently half as heavy as concrete roofing tiles and can be tailored to fit on most types of roofs.

If this works out it sure makes solar panels a decent investment.
If they are durable enough, and we can take them with us from house to house, that's quite an attractive proposition.
