Resolve relative to a feasibility report on solar rooftop energy on new buildings
SD 1671 establishes a 12-member legislative commission to study solar energy requirements for new buildings. The commission, including representatives from real estate, solar industry, labor, environmental groups, and local government, will review current building codes and policies to assess the feasibility of requiring rooftop solar systems and battery storage on new construction. Its report, due by January 1, 2026, will evaluate how such requirements could support Massachusetts' greenhouse gas goals and include specific policy recommendations. This bill creates a study process, not a direct policy change.
