Future standards will set our new homes and buildings on a path that moves away from relying on volatile fossil fuels and towards more secure, clean energy. The Government will therefore take the opportunity, where appropriate, to encourage the fitting of solar panels on new homes and buildings. Changes to permitted development rights rules will mean more businesses will be able to install solar panels on their roofs without going through the planning system. The Government is providing fiscal incentives to encourage businesses to install rooftop solar, through tax relief and business rate exemptions for installing and generating solar power.
