Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels are expected to be part of a default package to meet forthcoming rules on the energy efficiency of homes and buildings in England, according to Government plans.
A Bill to require the installation of solar photovoltaic generation equipment on new homes; to set minimum standards for compliance with that requirement; and for connected purposes.
Current rules that require businesses to apply for planning permission if solar panels will generate more than one megawatt of electricity will also be scrapped, meaning organisations will be able to install more solar panels on rooftops without the delay and cost of applying for planning permission.
In the letter they are asking the housing minister to mandate that all newly built homes in the UK be fitted with a “meaningful array” of solar panels, as well as the current promise of a mandate for heat pumps or low-carbon heat networks.
Even though installing solar panels on new builds is a great way to set new homes up with renewable energy from day one, it’s not yet a legal requirement. One common problem is that developers don't use all the available roof space, resulting in a less effective solar panel system.
This, in part, will be achieved by replacing current technologies with low-carbon alternatives such as heat pumps and solar panels. When the FHS was proposed, the then-Conservative government chose not to mandate the installation of solar panels on newbuild homes, but the signatories want to see this changed.
