Regulations Mandate Solar Panels on New Buildings
News summary

Concerns have been raised by DJ Alexander Ltd regarding the Scottish Heat in Buildings Bill, asserting that current funding and infrastructure are insufficient to meet ambitious net zero targets for homes, which may require up to £130 billion instead of the estimated £33 billion. Meanwhile, India is promoting solar energy initiatives, offering financial support for rooftop solar projects under various schemes, including for farmers and Scheduled Castes. In Israel, new regulations mandate the installation of solar panels on all new detached houses and larger non-residential buildings, aimed at matching energy production with consumption and reducing reliance on expansive solar fields. However, the country's emissions reduction targets have been downgraded significantly, raising concerns about meeting international commitments. The Scottish solar energy sector is advocating for a reevaluation of proposed building regulations based on the outdated Passivhaus standard, which could hinder the incorporation of solar technology in new constructions. Overall, these developments reflect a broader need for realistic policy frameworks that align with current technological capacities and economic realities.
