The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what estimate he has made of the cost to developers of installing solar panels on new homes under the Future Homes Standard.

Answered by Samantha Dixon

The Government has not estimated a single standalone cost for installing solar PV on new homes under the Future Homes Standard. The published Impact Assessment instead considers solar PV as part of the overall package of measures required to meet the Standard.

The Department intends to monitor impacts on developers following implementation.
