EU Solar Rooftop Initiative: Mandatory Installations Coming to New Buildings by 2027
The revised Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) mandates solar installations on all new non-residential buildings from 2026 and new residential buildings from 2029. The measure is expected to add 50 GW of rooftop capacity across the EU by 2030, directly supporting the REPowerEU target of 600 GW by 2030.
