Study: Texas Could Increase Solar Capacity 10 Times by Requiring Builders to Put Panels on New Homes
If builders install solar panels on all new Texas homes and apartment buildings by 2045, the state could generate a ten-fold increase in solar capacity and drastically cut air pollution, according to a new study.
Carbon dioxide emissions from electricity generation would drop by 3.2 percent if building codes in the Lone Star State required builders to make panels part of new residential construction, according to the report released Monday by the Environment Texas Research & Policy Center.
