6 FAQs about [Latest policy on solar power generation and heating]

Are solar photovoltaic panels part of a default package?

Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels are expected to be part of a default package to meet forthcoming rules on the energy efficiency of homes and buildings in England, according to Government plans.

Do you need planning permission to install solar panels?

Current rules that require businesses to apply for planning permission if solar panels will generate more than one megawatt of electricity will also be scrapped, meaning organisations will be able to install more solar panels on rooftops without the delay and cost of applying for planning permission.

Should solar energy be mandatory?

The standards must also be affordable, practical and safe. However, the possibility of solar energy not becoming all but mandatory, when it is already a common feature of newbuild housing, has been condemned by the industry – especially after such a long wait for the consultation to emerge.

How many GW of solar photovoltaic will be delivered by 2025?

It aims to deliver over 320 GW of solar photovoltaic by 2025 and almost 600 GW by 2030. Alongside the plan, the Commission also presented a set of initiatives on permitting processes for renewable energy projects, which are reflected in the revised Renewable Energy Directive (EU/2023/2413).

Can solar panels be installed without a planning system?

Changes to permitted development rights rules will mean more homeowners and businesses will be able to install solar panels on their roofs without going through the planning system. Currently those who have to go through the planning system are having to wait over eight weeks and face extra costs.

Will solar be used in newbuild housing?

Almost two decades after the Zero Carbon Homes policy was put forward and eight years after it was scrapped, the Government again runs the risk of a massive own goal. Solar Energy UK will press vigorously for solar to be applied to newbuild housing – cutting bills, saving carbon and helping us all move towards net zero,” he added.
