Written Question
Buildings: Solar Power
Thursday 13th July 2023

Asked by: Lord Taylor of Goss Moor (Liberal Democrat - Life peer)

Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the effectiveness of a market-led strategy through which developers are responsible for the installation of solar photovoltaic panels on suitably oriented roofs on new buildings.

Answered by Lord Callanan - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)

The Government is working to publish a full technical consultation later this year on the Future Homes and Building Standards. As part of the consultation, we will explore how we can continue to drive onsite renewable electricity generation, such as solar panels, where appropriate in new homes and buildings.
