Solar panels are a popular option for those looking to become more environmentally-friendly and save money on their energy bills in the long run.
However, many have been put off purchasing them - not only because they can be a costly investment, but also because they worry they will not make the most of the solar power provided.
Often, electricity generated by the panels can go to waste as the most energy is produced during the day when there is more sun. In normal times, this is when most people are at work and not using appliances.
In fact, two thirds of the world's energy is wasted somewhere between generation and usage.
