Solar Panels ( the law )

Hi to all.

I have just read an article about Solar Panels on another part of the eye on Spain site and apparently there is a law that came into effect from 28th September 06 that states  it is law  that all new property built now requires these to be fitted as standard!

Does anyone know any more about this?

Article details at:

In relation to the instalation of solar panels, we noticed that on all other developments that we viewed, that they did have them yet Dream Hill 2 doesn't ! Has anyone else looked into this ?

See article below in relation to this.

We are waiting to hear from our abogado on this one.  He is very good we have been using him for 10 years now and had no problems.  I will update what he says as soon as I can.  

Hi luna azul
I Have looked at other sites about this and it appears it is the law that these are fitted. However, it may be one of these things were it only applies to property that the plans were submitted after a certain date. In this case Dream Hill 2 may have been approved before the date.

Any information you get will be a graet help.

 

We have just had a letter from our abogado about the solar panels.  He says the law mentions saving energy for large buildings but does not mention a new law coming into effect last October.  What was written was for January 2006.  The architect  who did the plans for your new house will have to stick to the law so if you have to have solar panels according to the law he will not get his papers approved without this which means you carnt complete.  This is what we are now waiting for I hope the delay isnt to do with this but I will let you know if we get any more info

Hi luna azul
This will be interesting. Keep us posted.

Just to echo Bill's post - please keep us posted as this is something we need to be aware of!
