63% of Americans agree with California’s mandate for solar on new homes

In California, all newly developed homes are now required to have some form of solar power. 

The requirement, which begins to two years from now, requires California builders to either make individual homes available with solar panels or build a shared solar-power system serving a group of homes. 

California often leads the way when it comes to policy changes, and many across the country are wondering how many states are going to follow California and do the same. A new cross-country study by Morning Consult is now showing that 63 percent of Americans support California's decision.

Here comes the sun... We have marvelous news! Spillian is going solar! Starting this month, we will be sourcing all of our electrical power through a local solar farm with Delaware River Solar. We are thrilled to be making the next commitment to a regenerative way of being in the world. ❤️🌳🌞 . #solar #solarenergy #greenenergy #gogreen #sustainable #greenrevolution #regenerative #solarpower #actonclimate #climate #communitysolar #eco #gosolar @delawareriversolar #solarisnow #catskills #coolcatskills #mythiccatskills #greatwesterncatskills #spillian (at Spillian) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsly6xNFLqB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1aqt7jf14g139

Twitter reacts to Paris Climate Agreement withdrawal

The solar industry and other advocates of clean energy and climate change took to Twitter to discuss Trump’s decision to pull the United States out of the Paris Climate Agreement.

Fascinating tone at @SEIA #FTseminar re Trump & Paris agmt. Uniformly upbeat on prospects for solar. No stopping trend lines favoring solar!

We are deeply disappointed that the United States federal government has decided to withdraw from the Paris Agreement.

Decision to withdraw from the #ParisAgreeement was wrong for our planet. Apple is committed to fight climate change and we will never waver.

Withdrawing from the Paris Accord is reckless.

Solar Power World

[entertainmentauthority]

MGM Resorts is taking sustainability to the top by announcing plans to install a large scale solar panel array on the roof of Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. This project will produce nearly 20% of the Resort’s power demands #Solarisnow.

This array will be the largest convention center solar array in the world and the second largest rooftop solar array in the United States covering approximately 20 acres of roof. By comparison, the volume of energy produced by the array throughout the year would generate enough electricity to power 1,000 U.S. homes. Mandalay Bay is leading the way in renewable energy!

63% of Americans agree with California’s mandate for solar on new homes

The study, which polled 2,201 adults, found that 32 percent said they "somewhat" support requiring builders to add solar to new homes and 31 percent "strongly support" such a mandate. Together, that equals 63 percent of support. 

On average, California builds 80,000 new homes a year, 15,000 of which have solar installations. At the current rate of home building, the new requirement could increase the annual number of solar installations by a whopping 44 percent.
