California just passed a law that all new homes in subdivisions of ten or more must include a 250 square foot “solar zone” on the roof.
I got that from an article in Home Design Find.
I'm interested in it because it is my first time to come across a piece of legislation intended to make solar energy a way of life. The law is intended to make way for homes which can be fitted with solar panels. These panels generate their own electricity and thus help reducing the demand for electricity generated from more conventional means (e.g. coal plants etc.).
I envision a similar ordinance being passed in Davao City. But this will probably occur when solar panels have gone down in cost while oil prices have jacked up so high our government cannot ignore exploring other alternatives means of generating electricity.
Good luck to us.
