those are your latest headlines. new figures show the extent of the cost of living crisis, with around 90% of people across britain saying they're having to pay more for essentials. the office for national statistics says food, fuel, and energy were the main commodities those surveyed said had shot up in price. citizens advice has also told the bbc that the number of pay—as—you—go energy customers seeking help is already higher, so far this year ,than for the whole of 2021. here's our business editor, simonjack. thank you for calling. how is it i can help you today in this department? most customers of this energy company in hampshire are on prepaid metres. sorry, just take deep breaths and i'll look through this and i'm sure that we'll be able to do something for you, 0k? many are living day—to—day. so, do you have any debts outside of utility? eking out their energy between benefit and wage payments. what day do you get paid? some are desperate. please don't be frightened. we had a customer that found us a couple of weeks ago that had to sell all their belongings in order to be able to heat or eat. april's crippling rising bills has been too much for some, and there is worse to come when bills rise again in october. we were already seeing people in financial stress during this last winter. it was a relatively mild winter. you know, 54% price increase now, another 20% in october, it's going to be... i think one of my industry colleagues described it as being horrific. i think that's probably a fair statement. anything on standby will actually use up your credit... the calls being taken behind me are from the front—line of the cost—of—living crisis, people unable to heat their homes, theirfood or both. and although energy prices are the biggest shock to household incomes, it's not the only one. food prices are rising, petrol and diesel have set records in recent weeks, and national insurance went up in april, reducing take—home pay. the biggest cost—of—living squeeze in 70 years got under way in earnest in april, and it's affecting millions of people. in the streets of eastleigh, everyone was feeling it and having to make changes. everything's gone up — gas, electric, council tax went up. i didn't get a pay rise this year. the tax on national insurance has all changed as well. if i get the cooker on or whatever, i make sure the heating's off because i think, well, i'm warm enough. things like holidays and like that- are out of the question, days out and things - because it's more important. we've got to eat and heat our house and everything. - citizens advice saw an eightfold increase in calls from prepayment metre customers this april. so far this year, we've already helped as many people as we did in the whole of 2021 with not being able to afford to keep their prepayment metre topped up. and so we're really seeing a huge increase in that issue, and in march, we also saw a record number of people coming to us for a crisis support in terms of fuel vouchers as people just don't have enough money to eat and live. with hardship like this, little wonder the chancellor is under pressure to increase support beyond the £350 per household package already announced before bills rise again just before winter. simonjack, bbc news, eastleigh, hampshire. now on bbc news, click. as the energy crisis ramps prices up ever higher, click explores whether the latest generation of solar tech make installation is a no—brainer. this week, more clean, green fun in the sun another chance to see how we take on the crisis. how green is your wardrobe?

so started looking into new solar technology that was out there. this is solivus' testing yard in kent where they've been adapting the shape of the sculpture to maximise efficiency. the multilayered solar film used is provided by german firm helio tech. these solar panels are made up of three distinct layers at the moment and the top layer will capture the high energy light. the middle layer will capture the sort of visible light and then the bottom layer captures more of the infrared, more of the heat. so maximum efficiency for conventional solar panel is about 33% whereas for this technology they can layer it with in theory as many layers as they want to choose different parts of the spectrum and capture overall more light coming in. despite this sunny outlook, today this solar film is only 8% efficient. with a 10% version expected later this year. last year that may have been a problem, high initial costs have dogged solar as a cost—effective option. until the maths changed. driven by supply issues and fresh demand from a world recovering from a global pandemic, energy prices are surging. more than 50% in a matter of minutes. and that was before many western nations imposed sanctions on russia's gas and oilfollowing its invasion of ukraine. with the uk's energy price cap lifting next week, many household bills are to soar. from around 18p per kilowatt hour last year, the variable rate of electricity is expected to jump to more than 26p by the autumn and at least 32p if you want to fix your prices for a year or more, depending on where you live in the uk. at £3,500 the arc isn't cheap. but it is guaranteed for 20 years. it's film panels which are upgradable are expected to produce an average of 1000 kilowatt hours per year by the end of 2022. when it becomes thousand kilowatt—hours a year, in the uk you are looking at about 21p per kilowatt hour. that amount of energy will be locked in at that 2ip for 20 years and after that, it's free, obviously. let's be clear, one of these isn't enough to power the home. even one that uses gas or oil for heating. in theory you would need at least one for every bedroom you have. and if you don't have an expensive battery to store any surplus energy as it is captured, you end up feeding it back to the grid for a fraction of the market price. one alternative is you can plug the arc directly into your electric car if you have one. i found another solo entrepreneur in london's notting hill. this prototype features a unique cost—effective way to attach solar film to regular blinds so owners of flats and garages can take advantage too. because to date solar power has been for the rich, and it has not been, there has not been a system or product in place where it can go on any building. my company's aim is all around the democratisation of solar so any window can now become a solar panel. david has applied for a patent for his creation and will take it first to spain where these types of blinds are more common. installations begin later this year. and he is also in talks with a london authority which wants to fit them to council flats. so for this size of window it would generate around 10%, 15% of your energy needs, and this is a three bedroom house. so between a hot summer or a cool winter, the amount of energy you could generate would be probably about ten, 15% less during winter compared to summer. so not much difference? not that much, no. and with this new solar film it generates energy in cloudier climates compared to silicon panels. another good thing about solar film is that it is scalable. some places have more roof space than of course. so for reasons of cost savings as well as the environment, this rugby stadium has decided now is the time to cover its stands in a new, lightweight solar film. there is an estimated 2.5 billion square metres of south facing commercial roof space in the uk. and a lot of it wouldn't have enough strength to support weighty, traditional solar panels. so the panels will pay 15p per kilowatt hour. that is half or less than half of what the current cost of electricity is so that is a significant saving for us. if you've got a big roof or big area of land, i don't know why you wouldn't consider this as a viable option. i mean, you know, it uses an asset you cannot really use for any other purpose. it saves you money. and it's good for the planet. increasingly these new types of flexible solar panels are making solar more accessible for people. the don't replace traditional panels, which will be idealfor some. and there are other options like solar tiles out there too. but solarfilm is now getting more efficient and importantly, cheaper. just as grid prices are going through the roof. so both practically and financially now, solar could be coming home. we know that fashion can hit the earth, its production makes up the earth, its production makes up 10% of carbon emissions, drives of water sources and pollute rivers and streams, but all products within that comes from farms, labs factories take their toll with hidden impacts and materials, manufacturing and materials, manufacturing and more. frankly, even the best of intentions it can be really hard to know which items that you want to buy are better for the planet. take these two shirts for example, they look similar. this one might be made with more sustainable materials but it was flown halfway around the world to get you, and this was made locally, which one do you choose? wouldn't it be nice if you could maybe scan the products to see what is good and what is bad? here in the netherlands and company is trying to make the environmental impact of products more transparent. the idea is you scan the qr code attached to the product and you get a score out of 100. this shirt here is 66. this shirt over here, it looks pretty much the same, 70. ok, slightly better. the co—founder austen explains that this one score actually consists of five subscores. assessing things like carbon emissions, materials and recyclability, and also the impact on the people creating it. 68 for your lavender maxwell �*s —— wax melts. how necessary a product essentially is gets a score. what is an example of something that has no purpose?

those are your latest headlines. new figures show the extent of the cost of living crisis, with around 90% of people across britain saying they're having to pay more for essentials. the office for national statistics says food, fuel, and energy were the main commodities those surveyed said had shot up in price. citizens advice has also told the bbc that the number of pay—as—you—go energy customers seeking help is already higher, so far this year ,than for the whole of 2021. here's our business editor, simonjack. thank you for calling. how is it i can help you today in this department? most customers of this energy company in hampshire are on prepaid metres. sorry, just take deep breaths and i'll look through this and i'm sure that we'll be able to do something for you, 0k? many are living day—to—day. so, do you have any debts outside of utility? eking out their energy between benefit and wage payments. what day do you get paid? some are desperate. please don't be frightened. we had a customer that found us a couple of weeks ago that had to sell all their belongings in order to be able to heat or eat. april's crippling rising bills has been too much for some, and there is worse to come when bills rise again in october. we were already seeing people in financial stress during this last winter. it was a relatively mild winter. you know, 54% price increase now, another 20% in october, it's going to be... i think one of my industry colleagues described it as being horrific. i think that's probably a fair statement. anything on standby will actually use up your credit... the calls being taken behind me are from the front—line of the cost—of—living crisis, people unable to heat their homes, theirfood or both. and although energy prices are the biggest shock to household incomes, it's not the only one. food prices are rising, petrol and diesel have set records in recent weeks, and national insurance went up in april, reducing take—home pay. the biggest cost—of—living squeeze in 70 years got under way in earnest in april, and it's affecting millions of people. in the streets of eastleigh, everyone was feeling it and having to make changes. everything's gone up — gas, electric, council tax went up. i didn't get a pay rise this year. the tax on national insurance has all changed as well. if i get the cooker on or whatever, i make sure the heating's off because i think, well, i'm warm enough. things like holidays and like that- are out of the question, days out and things - because it's more important. we've got to eat and heat our house and everything. - citizens advice saw an eightfold increase in calls from prepayment metre customers this april. so far this year, we've already helped as many people as we did in the whole of 2021 with not being able to afford to keep their prepayment metre topped up. and so we're really seeing a huge increase in that issue, and in march, we also saw a record number of people coming to us for a crisis support in terms of fuel vouchers as people just don't have enough money to eat and live. with hardship like this, little wonder the chancellor is under pressure to increase support beyond the £350 per household package already announced before bills rise again just before winter. simonjack, bbc news, eastleigh, hampshire. now on bbc news, click. as the energy crisis ramps prices up ever higher, click explores whether the latest generation of solar tech make installation is a no—brainer. this week, more clean, green fun in the sun another chance to see how we take on the crisis. how green is your wardrobe? scores on the drawers, take on the crisis. how green is your wardrobe? scores on the drawers, and take on the crisis. how green is your wardrobe? scores on the drawers, and a take on the crisis. how green is your wardrobe? scores on the drawers, and a deep take on the crisis. how green is your wardrobe? scores on the drawers, and a deep dive take on the crisis. how green is your wardrobe? scores on the drawers, and a deep dive into the deserts of twojune. solar power is the earth's most abundant energy source. and, today, that goes far beyond simply bonking panels on rooftops. we keep seeing scientists develop new ways to make the technology more flexible, more powerful, and more useful. this factory in stockholm is making ultra—thin solar cells that don't even need sunlight to harvest energy. the idea is they can be used outside or inside your home to power products. i will be showing you later on what that means for various devices, but first, looking at how solo could help the energy price crisis. although most of us like the idea of clean energy, so far, we haven't been persuaded. maybe it is because we don't own our own roof or it is the upfront costs. maybe we are thinking of moving and we can't take solar panels with us, or just those are glaring, large slabs isn't quite the look we are after. so i have been to the homes of two british start—ups who want you to look again. this is a curve wrapped in at solarfilm, could require mining. it has a much smaller carbon footprint than traditional panels. that isn't all. it is designed to capture sunlight throughout more of the day, partly because it has fibre surfaces on which to harvest energy. now the arc is designed to capture sunlight throughout more of the day. and that is partly because it's got five surfaces on which to harvest energy. and this curved design means that usually it has a sweet spot which is very useful at the start and end of the day in particular. i think it looks quite futuristic. and if solar sculptures like this were to catch on, i can see them being seen as a sort of carbon neutral status symbol. something for the neighbours, perhaps to gawk at. i don't like the look of conventional solar panels. ijust don't like them. so i thought well, i want to get the home energy independent but how can i do it with avoiding solar panels? so started looking into new solar technology that was out there. this is solivus' testing yard in kent where they've been adapting the shape of the sculpture to maximise efficiency. the multilayered solar film used is provided by german firm helio tech. these solar panels are made up of three distinct layers at the moment and the top layer will capture the high energy light. the middle layer will capture the sort of visible light and then the bottom layer captures more of the infrared, more of the heat. so maximum efficiency for conventional solar panel is about 33% whereas for this technology they can layer it with in theory as many layers as they want to choose different parts of the spectrum and capture overall more light coming in. despite this sunny outlook, today this solar film is only 8% efficient. with a 10% version expected later this year. last year that may have been a problem, high initial costs have dogged solar as a cost—effective option. until the maths changed. driven by supply issues and fresh demand from a world recovering from a global pandemic, energy prices are surging. more than 50% in a matter of minutes. and that was before many western nations imposed sanctions on russia's gas and oilfollowing its invasion of ukraine. with the uk's energy price cap lifting next week, many household bills are to soar. from around 18p per kilowatt hour last year, the variable rate of electricity is expected to jump to more than 26p by the autumn and at least 32p if you want to fix your prices for a year or more, depending on where you live in the uk. at £3,500 the arc isn't cheap. but it is guaranteed for 20 years. it's film panels which are upgradable are expected to produce an average of 1000 kilowatt hours per year by the end of 2022. when it becomes thousand kilowatt—hours a year, in the uk you are looking at about 21p per kilowatt hour. that amount of energy will be locked in at that 2ip for 20 years and after that, it's free, obviously. let's be clear, one of these isn't enough to power the home. even one that uses gas or oil for heating. in theory you would need at least one for every bedroom you have. and if you don't have an expensive battery to store any surplus energy as it is captured, you end up feeding it back to the grid for a fraction of the market price. one alternative is you can plug the arc directly into your electric car if you have one. i found another solo entrepreneur in london's notting hill. this prototype features a unique cost—effective way to attach solar film to regular blinds so owners of flats and garages can take advantage too. because to date solar power has been for the rich, and it has not been, there has not been a system or product in place where it can go on any building. my company's aim is all around the democratisation of solar so any window can now become a solar panel. david has applied for a patent for his creation and will take it first to spain where these types of blinds are more common. installations begin later this year. and he is also in talks with a london authority which wants to fit them to council flats. so for this size of window it would generate around 10%, 15% of your energy needs, and this is a three bedroom house. so between a hot summer or a cool winter, the amount of energy you could generate would be probably about ten, 15% less during winter compared to summer. so not much difference? not that much, no. and with this new solar film it generates energy in cloudier climates compared to silicon panels. another good thing about solar film is that it is scalable. some places have more roof space than of course. so for reasons of cost savings as well as the environment, this rugby stadium has decided now is the time to cover its stands in a new, lightweight solar film. there is an estimated 2.5 billion square metres of south facing commercial roof space in the uk. and a lot of it wouldn't have enough strength to support weighty, traditional solar panels. so the panels will pay 15p per kilowatt hour. that is half or less than half of what the current cost of electricity is so that is a significant saving for us. if you've got a big roof or big area of land, i don't know why you wouldn't consider this as a viable option. i mean, you know, it uses an asset you cannot really use for any other purpose. it saves you money. and it's good for the planet. increasingly these new types of flexible solar panels are making solar more accessible for people. the don't replace traditional panels, which will be idealfor some. and there are other options like solar tiles out there too. but solarfilm is now getting more efficient and importantly, cheaper. just as grid prices are going through the roof. so both practically and financially now, solar could be coming home. we know that fashion can hit the earth, its production makes up the earth, its production makes up 10% of carbon emissions, drives of water sources and pollute rivers and streams, but all products within that comes from farms, labs factories take their toll with hidden impacts and materials, manufacturing and materials, manufacturing and more. frankly, even the best of intentions it can be really hard to know which items that you want to buy are better for the planet. take these two shirts for example, they look similar. this one might be made with more sustainable materials but it was flown halfway around the world to get you, and this was made locally, which one do you choose? wouldn't it be nice if you could maybe scan the products to see what is good and what is bad? here in the netherlands and company is trying to make the environmental impact of products more transparent. the idea is you scan the qr code attached to the product and you get a score out of 100. this shirt here is 66. this shirt over here, it looks pretty much the same, 70. ok, slightly better. the co—founder austen explains that this one score actually consists of five subscores. assessing things like carbon emissions, materials and recyclability, and also the impact on the people creating it. 68 for your lavender maxwell �*s —— wax melts. how necessary a product essentially is gets a score. what is an example of something that has no purpose? fix, what is an example of something that has no purpose?— that has no purpose? a product that has no purpose? a product that scores _ that has no purpose? a product that scores low _ that has no purpose?
