The bill would require the installation of solar photovoltaic generation equipment on new homes. The full text of the bill (PDF) contains four clauses. No explanatory notes or other accompanying documents have been published.
This Library briefing provides an overview of the bill and key areas of debate. The Private Members’ Bill on New Homes (Solar Generation), sponsored by Max Wilkinson (Lib Dem), will have its second reading on 17 January 2025. The government has set a mission to make Britain a clean energy superpower.
There are building regulations for solar panels, as there are for most home improvements. These government regulations are frequently updated to ensure that any alterations made to properties don’t threaten the safety or health of people who live or work in them.
Rooftop solar installations always need building regulations approval, but rarely require planning permission. This is because they generally fall under permitted development rights, which allow homeowners to make reasonably sized changes without getting permission.
Building Regulations In addition to planning permission, solar panel installations must comply with building regulations. These regulations ensure that installations are safe, energy-efficient, and environmentally friendly. Compliance with these standards is essential for both safety and performance.
Changes to permitted development rights rules will mean more homeowners and businesses will be able to install solar panels on their roofs without going through the planning system. The Government is working to support household renewables through community benefits, energy efficiency schemes and the Smart Export Guarantee.

Live ChatRoof tops of high rise buildings are ideal sites for the solar power installation (Fig. 1). A 60kWp Solar power project at the roof top, costing around ` 58,00,000/= can generate approximately 1,00,000 units a year of clean & green power & pump it to the grid. The shadow free roof area required is about 450 Sq. metres of the high rise building.
