California Mandates Solar Power on New Homes
加利福尼亚规定新建住宅使用太阳能
California is taking a major step in reducing greenhouse gases by mandating the use of solar panels on new homes and buildings in the state. If approved, the mandate will apply to new homes and apartment buildings built after January 2020. Some exceptions will apply, including homes and buildings that are completely in shade. The solar panels will bring an added cost to home prices, but the savings in energy will more than cover the extra mortgage costs. Builders will be adding solar panels to individual homes or creating shared power systems. California is the first US state to take this energy-saving initiative.
加利福尼亚在减少温室气体方面迈出重大一步，规定本国的新住宅和建筑物使用太阳能板。如果该规定得以批准，那么自2020一月起所有新建住宅和公寓楼都将适用该规定。一些特殊情况同样适用，包括完全位于阴凉处的住宅和建筑物。太阳能板会提高房价，但其节省的能源将远超额外的房贷成本。建筑商将为个人房屋增设太阳能板或者建造共享电力系统。加利福尼亚是美国第一个进行节能首创的州。
