I/others have talked a lot about this but it hasnt cut through, so here's a thread on why mandating all new build housing to have solar panels is virtue signalling, when there are far better options that deliver far greater decarbonisation results. #Solar #PV #EnergyCrisis

First, planning.
Often, builders buy an outline permission from a landowner, meaning they have to satisfy X, Y and Z to get on site. Often, this means the site isn't viable at the terms the landowner achieved.
Builders take that risk but sometimes govt changes regulations.

This happened recently, with Building Regs for energy efficiency, EVs etc adding between 10% & 30% to build costs. Builders hope govt is sensible with transitions..🤔
Those recent changes put Heat Pumps & Solar panels to the top of 'solutions to help meet regs' pile!
