California Will Require Most New Homes to Install Solar Panels
--------------------------------------------------------------

California is slated to become the first U.S. state requiring solar
panels be installed on all new single-family homes. The unanimous move
by the California Energy Commission is expected to raise housing costs
amid a dire housing crisis-but savings from reduced energy use will
lower the cost of homes over their lifespans due to lower energy prices.
California has set a goal of all new homes being "zero net energy" by
2020.
