Initially promising mandatory solar panels for new-build homes to help achieve net-zero emissions, Labour now appears to be considering making them optional instead.
Labour's solar "rooftop revolution" was a policy aimed at accelerating solar panel adoption across the UK, spearheaded by Ed Miliband, to simplify the installation process.
Miliband explained: "We will encourage builders and homeowners... to deliver this win-win technology to millions," underscoring the dual benefits of solar technology.
This shift has sparked criticism from environmental advocates, who see it as a weakened commitment to decarbonising new housing construction, although the government denies this.
