For making roof-top solar panels mandatory for most new homes

Nearly all houses in Tokyo will have to install solar panels after April 2025. The regulation - which was recently passed by the Japanese capital’s local assembly - requires 50 major construction firms to equip homes of up to 2,000 square metres with renewable energy power sources. The rule will help the city transition to green energy, city counsellors declared. ”In addition to the existing global climate crisis, we face an energy crisis with a prolonged Russia-Ukraine war”, said Risako Narikiyo, a member of the local assembly. ”There is no time to waste.” Tokyo hopes to bring down its emissions footprint significantly in the coming decades. The city’s Metropolitan Government aims to halve greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 compared with 2000 levels, and to be emission-free by 2050.

This will have a huge effect! Nearly 38 million people live in the greater Tokyo metropolitan area -- I wonder how many new homes are created annually
