Mary Smail admits she installed 16 panels on the back of her house in Derbyshire to highlight climate policies.
Mary Smail said the panels are not visible from the street and have not been the subject of any complaintsAn environmental campaigner is facing a large fine and possible prison in a dispute over solar panels.
In May 2019 the district council declared a climate emergency but Ms Smail says she felt they were not backing the idea.
