UK government mandates solar panels for new homes in England
Future Homes Standard to include solar panel mandate for new homes, UK government confirms. New building regulations are expected to make PV a requirement for almost all homes, with only “rare exceptions” where impact would be negligible, according to UK Energy Secretary Ed Miliband.
Solar panels will be required on almost all new homes built in England under new regulations set for publication in fall 2025.
UK government Energy Secretary Ed Miliband confirmed on June 6 that the forthcoming Future Homes Standard will make installing solar panels on new homes “almost universal” in England, outside of “rare exceptions” where a PV installation would make no difference to energy efficiency. Building regulations for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are set locally.
Solar Energy UK estimates the solar mandate will apply to 90% of new homes in England, which the trade association described as a “huge win” for the solar industry, households and the environment. The UK government has claimed installing solar could save a typical household around GBP 530 ($715) per year based on current energy prices.
