If you’re planning a new home or commercial building in California, you’ve probably heard of Title 24. But what does it really mean for your project, especially when it comes to solar?
What Is Title 24?
Title 24 is part of the California Building Standards Code, designed to reduce energy consumption and support the state’s clean energy goals. These energy efficiency standards apply to residential and nonresidential buildings, and they’re updated every few years to reflect advances in technology and sustainability.
One of the most impactful updates in recent years? Solar requirements for new homes. California now mandates that most newly built single-family homes and low-rise multifamily dwellings include solar photovoltaic systems. This requirement is a major step toward reducing carbon emissions and promoting long-term energy savings for homeowners.
Why It Matters for Builders and Developers
Meeting Title 24 requirements isn’t just about checking a box. It’s about designing smarter, more efficient buildings that are future-ready. Failing to comply can delay your project or lead to costly changes down the line. That’s why it’s important to work with a solar provider who understands the ins and outs of energy code compliance.
How We Help
As a licensed EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) solar contractor, we’re equipped to help you navigate Title 24 from start to finish. We handle:
- System design that meets or exceeds code requirements
- Permit preparation and submission

Solar = Smart Investment for Your Clients
Installing solar as part of new construction doesn’t just fulfill a code requirement, it also adds value. Homebuyers increasingly look for energy-efficient, solar-powered homes. Plus, with utility rates on the rise and the 30% federal tax credit still available (for now), your clients will appreciate the savings from day one.
