I hear about these cheaper PV panels but I've never seen any for sale.
They all seem to cost an arm and a leg here in the UK.

Read your enegy website with interest.
You have, with most of the rest of them, missed the main point.
That is population control.
All your technological solutions are a complete waste of time without
it.
If we don't control population, nature/economics will do the job for
us, quite soon I believe, in an icredibly nasty and violent way.

The vast majority of people are satisfied to keep doing what they're doing
forever. Fortunately not *everyone* is stuck looking at his own feet or
over his shoulder; there are a precious gifted few who look ahead to find
new paths.
