Caroline Lucas has called on the UK government to make solar panels mandatory on the roofs of all suitable new homes.

The Green Party has launched its manifesto, including a pledge to invest £12 billion a year into renewables and to fit one million solar panels on homes per year.

As the UK prepares for yet another election, following the dissolution of parliament in the early hours yesterday, pledges for increased solar power are notable in almost all the major party’s campaigns.
