US EditionSolar panels ‘to become mandatory for new homes by 2027’
- The UK government intends to mandate the integration of solar panels on the roofs of nearly all newly built homes by 2027 as part of its effort to achieve net zero emissions.
- This mandate stems from the Labour Party’s commitment to build 1.5 million homes and reduce carbon emissions alongside lowering household energy bills.
- Solar panels must cover about 40% of a home's roof, adding £3,000 to £5,300 to construction costs but saving homeowners over £1,000 annually on energy expenses.
- A government spokesperson said solar panels are essential to cut bills, boost energy security, and help achieve net zero, while campaigners welcomed the decision as commonsense.
- The policy signals the government’s firm net zero commitment, though some, including former PM Tony Blair, have criticized parts of the approach as unrealistic or doomed to fail.
