A single mum has been told that she has to accept solar panels on the roof of her council house or be put back onto the waiting list.
Brittany Haughton, 26, has turned the panels off and demanded their removal, because she was 'still paying through the roof for electricity' and 'doesn't see the point' in them.
But Brittany, who has autism and has a daughter with 'special needs', is locked in a 25-year-contract with the Community Energy Scheme (CES), Stoke-on-Trent Live reports.

Brittany had been on the Stoke-on-Trent City Council housing waiting list since 2018 when she moved into her three-bed semi in December 2020.

The mum-of-two told Stoke-on-Trent Live : “The panels were not saving me any money. I was still paying through the roof for electricity. I don’t see the point of them being on.
“It has been stressing me out. I’m a single mum - it’s just shocking. I am worried in case debt collectors come knocking on my door.
“I’ve got autism so I have problems in social situations. I struggle to read body language as well. I don’t like going out at all and I don’t like strangers in my home. I don’t need this. My anxiety is through the roof."

“This was my ideal house and I needed it because one of my girls has special needs so she requires her own space so I had to accept the house, I couldn’t afford to wait any longer.
“I want the solar panels down - I’ve always wanted
