no, it's one thing to allow solar panels on houses, but a completely other thing to require them. i'm against the requirement as well. there's absolutely no sane reason for that besides making people uncomfortable if they don't want them. if they want them, they can already get them.

    A lot of the big building companies, in Europe, treat solar panels as a premium option and so charge a larger profit margin on them. Installing solar, while constructing the house is a LOT cheaper and easier than retrofitting them later.

    The panels have gotten cheap enough that it's no longer a real cost burden, Vs the cost of the house.
