What do you think of new building codes…?
…that require solar panels on the roof? I think they should definitely create those. I think they should have new building codes that also require geothermal pumps, rainwater collection systems, and passive ventilation. Maybe they should add thermal glass, too. I think for commercial and industrial buildings, they should require wind turbines and skylights on the roof. You have to have bathrooms in buildings now. You can no longer have an outhouse outside. So I say, why don’t they include these in new building codes?
Personally I believe the long term affects these building codes would have on a business would be more feasible than spending thousands of dollars on electric and water bills each month. The addition of thermal glass, wind turbines and skylights for a building constructed to last more than a century, would be a great investment for the business and environment!

A building code that requires $50000 solar panels (with all the extra equipment) will never get passed.
But the idea is good. Perhaps if you limit it to houses with a value over $1M ?
Perhaps when prices drop enough.

The cost of photovoltaic solar panels is quite prohibitive for the normal home owner and for commercial ventures as well. There needs to be a breakthrough in the science of photovoltaic technology to increase their efficiency and the storage of energy into batteries and the subsequent conversion into alernating current for use in homes and commerical/industrial buidings.
