All new houses being built to have solar panels as standard.

What the petition asks
There are thousands of new homes being built all over the country and the great majority of these don't have solar panels installed.
This is a huge waste of roof space which could be used to power AT LEAST the new homes and reduce our non-renewable energy consumption. It will be significantly cheaper and more efficient for the builders to install rather than individuals retrofitting later on.
