Among those who did not have a solar PV system, roughly 85% of them declared to be willing to invest in this sustainable way to produce energy. The reluctance revealed by a narrow share of respondents (15%) in installing a solar PV system is mainly justified by housing conditions (lack of space and/or the situation of living in a rented house).

Should a new home require solar PV panels?
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.
Can you install solar panels without planning permission?
The rules for homeowners specifically allow houses, bungalows, or apartments with flat roofs to install solar panels without planning permission. This removing the roughly eight week wait time that most owners have had to suffer through, as well as removing many of the additional costs that may initially put people off of going solar.
How can the government support the installation of solar panels?
The government has several schemes to support the installation of solar panels. This includes the Energy Company Obligation (ECO), and the Warm Homes: Local Grant and the Warm Homes: Social Funding.
What is solar PV policy?
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).
Should solar PV be supported in the UK?
I. Support for solar PV should allow cost-effective projects to proceed and to make a cost-effective contribution to UK carbon emission objectives in the context of overall energy goals – ensuring that solar PV has a role alongside other energy generation technologies in delivering carbon reductions, energy security and affordability for consumers.
Are solar panels a legal requirement for new homes?
Even though installing solar panels on new builds is a great way to set new homes up with renewable energy from day one, it’s not yet a legal requirement. One common problem is that developers don't use all the available roof space, resulting in a less effective solar panel system.
