You can now buy plug-in solar panels on the high street and online at a fraction of the cost of traditional rooftop systems. But are they right for your home?
In this episode of Which? Shorts, we explain how plug-in solar panels work, look at their pros and cons, and compare them with rooftop solar panels.
Plug-in solar panels are already popular on the continent, but they’re a new option for households in Great Britain after a law change made it legal to buy and install kits in this country.
But plug-in panels are very different to rooftop panels you may be familiar with. So how do they compare, how much could you save and which type is most suitable for you?
This episode is read by James and is based on an article written by Emily Seymour and Karen Lawrence, originally published in the October 2026 issue of Which? magazine.

Reaching for supplements can seem like a natural thing to do when your body requires extra nutrients, but our research reveals a wide variation in active ingredients and a lack of evidence-backed dosing.
In this episode of Which? Shorts, our chief nutritionist Shefalee Loth lifts the lid on our research to help you understand what’s actually inside the menopause supplements we tested.
We spent many hours researching more than 80 active ingredients included in a range of big-brand supplements, from everyday vitamins and minerals to niche herbal and botanical extracts.

We sent mystery shoppers from across the country to help us find out what’s really going on with online grocery deliveries. This is what we found out.
In this episode of Which? Shorts, our senior retail researcher Hannah Walsh reveals the results of our investigation into some of the UK’s biggest supermarkets, and how their online delivery services compare.
We found examples of fresh food being delivered on the same day as its use-by date. We explain how paying more doesn’t necessarily mean your groceries will be fresher or last longer.
