SunWork Renewable Energy Projects a nonprofit solar installation company trains volunteers to install solar panels on homes in the South Bay Area. Sun Work recently completed an installation on a Sunnyvale home in February
The commission also expects that by the first year of implementation, statewide annual electricity consumption will be cut by about 653 gigawatt-hours and natural gas consumption reduced by 9.8 million therms.
"On the one hand, we would prefer that this had been put off for a few more years, but the fact is that the California Energy Commission has been working on this, with us, for the past 10 years", he said. "We will be the first state to adopt this". It cited Bob Raymer, technical director for the California Building Industry Association (CBIA), as saying that now 15% to 20% of new single-family homes have solar.
"The commission's decision today is undeniably historic", Umoff said. They still need backing from the state's Building Standards Commission.
The solar power industry provides about 16 percent of California's electricity and employs more than 86,000 workers, according to The New York Times.
It will save homeowners about United States dollars 19,000 in energy and maintenance costs over 30 years, Energy Commission spokeswoman Amber Pasricha Beck told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
"This is an undeniably historic decision for the state and the U.S. California has always been our nation's biggest solar champion, and its mass adoption of solar has generated huge economic and environmental benefits, including bringing tens of billions of dollars of investment into the state", Hopper said in a statement.

Bridge Crew TNG Expansion
Developer Red Storm Entertainment has revealed that its multiplayer VR game Star Trek: Bridge Crew will be getting brand new DLC. This will focus on the management of the crew and require planning as players place NPCs in different positions on the ship.
In addition to solar, the proposed energy rules would require additional improvements to insulation in the walls and attics of new homes as well as more efficient windows, water heaters and other appliances. That amounts to an increased mortgage payment of about $40 per month on average but saves an estimated $80 per month in utility bills.
The requirement does include exceptions when solar panels aren't feasible - such as on a home shrouded in shade - or cost effective.
The measure now moves toward final approval later this year by the state's Building Standards Commission.
Buildings that are shaded or have a roof that is too small to accommodate panels will be among those exempt, Pasricha Beck said.
The final building code will be adopted in early to mid-2019 and become effective for all new homes and buildings receiving permits after January 1, 2020.
