California Passes Law That Requires All New Houses Have Solar Panels

[JimRaynor]

"Last week, California became the first US state to require solar panels on all new homes.

The regulation takes effect in 2020, and some economists warn that it could raise upfront purchase costs in one of America's most expensive housing markets.

Homebuilder trade organisations supported the move, but also worked to find ways that would cheapen the burden for their members and homeowners."

Good idea.

Bad implementation.
