California mandates solar panels on new homes under 4 storeys by 2020
Right now, about one in five new homes in California comes with solar panels already installed. In two years, it will be all of them.
On Wednesday, California Energy Commission's vote was unanimous: California will soon become the first state to require solar panels on all new homes and on residential buildings smaller than four stories.
The law, which takes effect Jan. 1, 2020, specifies the minimum size of the system would be based on the size of the building and can vary between 2 and 7 kilowatts of output per dwelling.

An editorial in the Los Angeles Times [latimes.com] expresses support for the measure.
You should emulate your heros, but don't carry it too far. Especially
if they are dead.
