Dear John,

Rooftop solar is finally coming to parliament in 2025.

MPs will soon have the chance to vote on the Sunshine Bill, requiring all new homes to be fitted with solar panels. Solar energy has the power to cut sky-high bills and tackle the cost-of-living crisis, while taking urgent action on the climate emergency – a win for people, nature and the countryside. 

But we need your help to make sure enough MPs show up to parliament on 17 January to vote in favour of rooftop solar. 

CPRE has long campaigned for a rooftop solar revolution and our research shows that 60% of the UK’s solar targets could be delivered on rooftops.  

This is an untapped opportunity, and the Sunshine Bill would set the UK on the critical path to achieving the government’s target of at least 95% clean power by 2030. 

Time is running out to ensure that enough MPs know about the Sunshine Bill and turn up to parliament on 17 January to vote in favour of rooftop solar. 

This is a critical time for rooftop solar and your voice counts – taking action now will let your MP know that this is important to their constituents and will make them more likely to show up for the debate. 

Will you email your MP and urge them to support the Sunshine Bill? 

Thank you,

Lola
