Tomorrow the California Energy Commission (CEC) is expected to vote on the nation's first plan to require solar panels to be installed on all qualifying new homes beginning in 2020. According to reports circulating about a California Energy Commission (CEC) meeting taking place on Tuesday, California's solar levels might get a swift kick in the rear. Looking more closely at the mandate in question, it becomes clear that all simple three-story and single-family homes, apartments, and condominiums are needed to meet the new building permit standard.
The new energy standards could add up to $30,000 in construction costs compared with homes built to the 2006 code, C.R. Herro, Meritage's vice president of environmental affairs, told the News Group.

In fact, as many as 75 percent of cases in African-Americans appear on areas of the skin that don't get much sun at all. Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States.
The move won't require homes to reach net-zero carbon status, but the move will provide "compliance credits" to those who install battery storage. It means that future homes would be created to meet standards that could theoretically produce enough solar power and remain off the grid. True "zero-net-energy" homes still rely on the electric power grid at night, they explained, a time when more generating plants come online using fossil fuels to generate power.
California may require solar panel installations on every new home, making it the first state in the USA -and possibly the first government in the world to have such kind of mandate. In fact, he added more panels to his roof than was required by the builder.

"Zero net energy isn't enough", said Andrew McAllister, one of five state energy commissioners voting on the new homebuilding standards. It also means that pretty much everyone will need to go to electric heating instead of other, environmentally friendly options like natural gas. Over the course of about 25 years - or the average solar panel lifespan - the green-energy products could save owners anywhere from $50,000 to $60,000.
"We're not building enough housing already", Watt said.
