Honest answers on cutting your energy bills.
WattSpotter compares plug-in solar, heating controls and home batteries for people in Great Britain. Rankings use published criteria. Whether a shop pays us is not one of them.
Sample fixture, not live shop prices.

How a row is ordered
- The number on the name is a sample merit rank from the published criteria.
- The headline price is the lowest price still in stock. A cheaper out-of-stock price stays in its column.
- Who pays for a link is not an input. When a link is an ad, it is labelled (Ad).
Where the sample prices come from
Official feeds are preferred. Currys is Awin merchant 1599. Screwfix’s Awin id was not verified. The brand-shop column is a Webgains stub because Anker SOLIX is on Webgains. This build uses a fixture, so the adapters report:
- Currys: no Awin feed URL configured, so nothing was fetched.
- Screwfix: no Awin feed URL configured, so nothing was fetched.
- Brand shop: no Webgains feed URL configured, so nothing was fetched. Anker SOLIX is on Webgains. Join that programme before a feed is fetched.
