6 FAQs about [Are there any new policies for home solar photovoltaics ]
Should a new home require solar PV panels?
The 2023/24 consultation on the detailed specification for the FHS sought views on whether to require solar photovoltaic (PV) panels for new homes. Solar PV generation turns the sun’s energy into electricity. Option 1 would have required solar PV panels covering the equivalent of 40% of a new home’s ground floor area.
Are solar photovoltaic panels part of a default package?
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.
Will the government add solar panels to new homes?
Most of the available stakeholder commentary has focused on the government’s FHS proposal on adding solar PV panels to new homes, but there has been some support specifically for this bill. The MCS Foundation, a charity that oversees the standards for home renewable energy systems in the UK, has supported the bill.
Do you need planning permission to install solar panels?
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.
Will solar power be required on new homes?
The bill would require the installation of solar photovoltaic generation equipment on new homes. The full text of the bill (PDF) contains four clauses. No explanatory notes or other accompanying documents have been published.
What will changes to permitted development rights mean for solar panels?
Changes to permitted development rights rules will mean more homeowners and businesses will be able to install solar panels on their roofs without going through the planning system. The Government is working to support household renewables through community benefits, energy efficiency schemes and the Smart Export Guarantee.
