New Jersey House lawmaker Herb Conaway, a Democrat, introduced legislation on June 27 that would require all new residential buildings in the state to include solar panels. The bill would allow solar installations on individual houses or shared solar arrays to serve multiple residences. The mandate would take effect one year after enactment. The measure mirrors building standards approved in May by the California Energy Commission that call on new homes to install rooftop solar starting in 2020. (A 4274)
