Lord Foster of Bath (LD)
To be absolutely clear, it would apply to all batteries that receive their supply from solar panels.
Baroness Worthington (CB)
In which case, I am even more supportive, because it is absolutely clear that installing solar panels is a fast way to reduce demand for fossil fuels and to increase resilience. If it can then be stored, even more resilience will be added to the system. So this would seem to be a very sensible amendment, and I thank the noble Lord for his meticulous detail in spotting this.
