California Requires Solar Energy Options for New Homes

A new California law requires homebuilders to begin providing optional solar energy systems to homebuyers.  California Public Resources Code Section 25405.5 often referred to as "The “Mandatory Solar Option Law", went into effect on New Year's Day, January 1, 2011.

The new law mandates that homebuilders building homes in California offer an option to homebuyers for solar energy systems in certain new production homes.  Homebuilders should consult with their counsel to ensure compliance with this new regulatory requirement.
