A Bill to require the installation of solar photovoltaic generation equipment on new homes; to set minimum standards for compliance with that requirement; and for connected purposes.
Solar PV policy is not without its challenges. In particular, solar PV deployment requires careful consideration to ensure appropriate use of land and buildings, and ensures that the views of local communities are heard (see page 24).
The 2023/24 consultation on the detailed specification for the FHS sought views on whether to require solar photovoltaic (PV) panels for new homes. Solar PV generation turns the sun’s energy into electricity. Option 1 would have required solar PV panels covering the equivalent of 40% of a new home’s ground floor area.
The permitted development right for non-domestic rooftop solar allows for the installation of solar equipment which generates up to 1 megawatt (MW) of electricity. 31.
To facilitate the take up of solar equipment, there are 4 existing permitted development rights which allow for the installation of such equipment on and within the curtilages of domestic and non-domestic premises without having to submit a planning application. All of the permitted development rights are subject to limitations and conditions .
This includes a proposed new PD right for solar canopies which would allow for canopies up to 4 metres high in ground-level off-street vehicle parking in non-domestic settings. The government has announced it is expanding permitted development rights for temporary campsites in England as well as making changes to existing rights for filming.
