58 235 314 | California to become first U.S. state mandating solar on new homes, May 4, 2018


California is on the verge of making solar standard on virtually every new home built in the Golden State.

The proposed new rules would deviate slightly from another much-heralded objective: Requiring all new homes be “net-zero,” meaning they would produce enough solar power to offset all electricity and natural gas consumed over the course of a year.

New thinking has made that goal obsolete, state officials say. True “zero-net-energy” homes still rely on the electric power grid at night, they explained, a time when more generating plants come online using fossil fuels to generate power.

Just 15 percent to 20 percent of new single-family homes built include solar, according to Bob Raymer, technical director for the California Building Industry Association.

“California is about to take a quantum leap in energy standards,” Raymer said. “No other state in the nation mandates solar, and we are about to take that leap.”

22 divided by 7 equals 3.14~, the number for Pi, seasons, cycles, circles etc.

271 is the 58th prime number


739 is the 131st prime number

mandating solar panels = 98

solar energy panels = 98

a proposed new energy code = 99/117/126/252

 solar panels on roofs = 99/108/126/252
Photovoltaic solar panels = 99/117/126/162/288/333

new energy standards =81/99/153
The new solar mandate = 81/99/108/153/162/288
a net-carbon-zero home = 99/288

generate electricity = 96/111

energy efficiency = 96
The new energy standards = 96/111


The California Energy Commission is scheduled to vote Wednesday, May 9, on new energy standards mandating most new homes have solar panels starting in 2020.

If approved as expected, solar installations on new homes will skyrocket.
