Suspension of Solar Installation Requirements

On Monday, July 7, 2025, Governor Newsom signed an Executive Order that suspends rooftop solar and battery storage installation requirements for those rebuilding homes that were lost in the January 2025 wildfires. Residents rebuilding their homes are no longer required to install rooftop solar panels or battery storage systems. However, homes must still be solar-ready and include the wiring and space needed for solar in the future. To learn more, click here.
