Homeowners Over the Moon With Wickes' ‘Lunar Panels’

This April Fools Day, home improvement retailer, Wickes, unveils its latest ‘innovation’: Wickes Lunar Panels. This tongue-in-cheek concept claims to capture the power of the moon using specialist technology, offering a playful take on nighttime energy generation.

Wickes has lifted the lid on its latest celestial concept, revealing it as a light-hearted April Fools’ joke. While there is emerging technology in this space, the reality is still a long way away from being commercially available. This fun idea is a reminder that there are plenty of practical ways for customers to make other, clever improvements around the home.Wickes customers have been quick to join in the fun, responding to the ‘launch’ on Wickes' official social channels with a mix of amusement and genuine enthusiasm: “Love this! The moon is clocking in.” and “So clever!”

While a moon-powered home may still be a dream, solar power is very much a reality. Customers can make better use of solar energy with battery storage, which allows electricity generated during the day to be stored and used later, including in the evening. Wickes Solar provides tailored solar panel systems with flexible, affordable finance options to match your home and energy needs. Our specialists handle every step, from planning to installation. Plus, all our solar panels come with a 25-year warranty, and we’re proud to be rated Excellent on Trustpilot.
