LONDON — The vast majority of new U.K. homes will have rooftop solar panels installed by default, the government has announced.
The new policy will mean residents of new-build homes will save up to £530 per year compared with the energy price cap, the government estimates.
The announcement comes in advance of the Future Homes Standard, to be published in autumn, which will set the regulations and guidelines for newly built homes.

The government confirmed Friday that solar panels will be included in that plan, leading to installations across the vast majority of new homes.
