UK could require solar panels on most new homes by 2027

SMRTR summary

The UK plans to mandate solar panels on most new homes by 2027, aiming to reduce carbon emissions and energy bills. The initiative would require 80% of new houses to cover 40% of their ground area with panels, potentially saving families up to £1,000 annually on energy costs. This move aligns with the UK's goal to decarbonize its electric grid by 2030 and install 47 gigawatts of solar capacity.
