I'm fairly sure that all newly built houses in the UK require solar by law.

All the new houses around here with no solar would indicate that is not true. They're not even required to have a south facing roof.

It is very poorly implemented. "Builder grade" solar panels in a "smallest compliant" configuration with no concern for architecture to benefit from solar takes place. Builders are intentionally putting the shittiest solar to reduce value of the homes they build so that they can complain about the policy.
