New Campaign Pushing for Mandated Solar on New Homes in 10 States
BOSTON — In January 2020, California became the first state to require all new houses to be built with solar panels. If a new campaign from Environment America succeeds, 10 more states will mandate solar power on their new homes.
Environment America, a national network of 29 environmental groups, is launching a first-of-its-kind campaign calling on at least 10 additional states across the country to set similar standards for solar power on new homes. These states include: Colorado, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Texas.
