California Passes Solar Panel Mandate
17 November 2021 | 122 replies
California is the first state to do so, but it likely won't be the last, with New Jersey and Minnesota pursuing increased reliance on solar.Despite criticisms of the mandate, the trend towards increased solar use will continue as economies of scale push prices down, utilities pivot their business models and the economic and health benefits of decreased reliance on the grid and fossil fuels are revealed over time.The measure, approved by California regulators in a unanimous decision on Wednesday May 9, 2018, will require all new residential buildings, including apartments and condos that are three stories or fewer, to have rooftop solar panels starting in 2020.The California Energy Commission, the body responsible for approving the decision, estimated the panels will tack on approximately $9,500 in additional construction fees but save homeowners $19,000 in energy bills over the course of 30 years.Reactions are split on this.

The principal differences being:the electric baseboards (EBB) are install and controlled on a room-by-room basis; andEBBs rely on convection to permeate heat into the room (there is no fan circulating the air)In theory EBBs should have similar operating costs to a centralized electric forced air furnace (if not lower), however, in practice, that is usually not the case.Because of their reliance on convection, EBBs have slow recovery - i.e. if there has been a draft (someone opening an external door or window) or if the heat has been set back during the day and was turned up on the occupants return.
