Not to existing buildings. However, there is an argument that it
should be compulsory in new buildings.

No there isn't. That would be a dreadful thing to do.


Why?


Because they are ugly and virtually useless and because it is not
appropriate to compel people to fit them to their properties unless you
are proposing a totalitarian system of course.



You'll be suggesting windmills on roofs next


It is an excellent idea to fit a wind turbine or two to the roof.


Tell you what. You can fit one on your house on my behalf.

However, unlike solar panels they are not suitable on all houses, so
I would advocate selecting from a range of alternative forms of
engineering to produce electricity.


Nuclear energy is a great way to cover that issue.
