Do new buildings need a building permit to use solar energy?

The directive requires that all new buildings are designed to optimise their solar energy generation. The rule will apply to buildings for which the application for the building permit is made after 29 May 2026 and ensure that suitable solar installations can be added in the future without costly structural changes to the buildings.
