Everyone who decided to build a house in South Miami or to repair, install solar panel under the new law, which passed Tuesday night.
As reported by the Miami Herald, this will be the first such law in Florida, which will enter into force on 18 September. Now for every 1 thousand square feet of sunlit roof, you need to install 175 sq. ft. of solar battery panels or by 2.75 kW per 1 thousand square feet of living space, one that is less. The renovation, which includes 75% of the replacement housing or its extension by 75%, also requires the installation of the panels.
The mayor of South Miami, Philip Stoddard, who is also a biology Professor at Florida International University, the house runs completely on solar energy and he drives a electric car. Account Stoddart for electricity is $ 10 per month.
The Commission approved this law in the first reading in early June, but later the discussion was postponed to June 20 to make sure that it does not violate the construction rules and regulations adopted in Florida.
