Closed Make rooftop solar installations mandatory for all new homes valued over £400000

Closed on

As the UK aims to reach net zero by 2050, it is important to ensure that rooftop solar becomes common place. I want new homes worth over £400000 to install rooftop solar as many cant afford to. These homes also are generally larger than lower valued homes and as a result use more electricity.

The government should encourage the installation of rooftop solar for all home buyers and constructions around the country. Rooftop solar will be a vital step towards the goal of net zero as it will take homes off grid, handing control back to the home owner. Rooftop solar will also help to green the grid with a rapid expansion of the renewable technology with the impending housing construction boom. Rooftop solar will also make the grid more resilient and reduce the effect of blackouts on homes
