Permits municipalities to require that new construction be solar ready.

This bill allows New Jersey municipalities to require that all new buildings be designed to accommodate future solar panel installation ("solar ready"). It defines "solar ready" as including structural elements for rooftop solar panels and optional solar water heating systems. Municipalities would enforce this through building permits, requiring construction plans to include these solar-ready features before permits are approved. The law directly affects developers and builders of new structures in participating municipalities, enabling easier future solar adoption without mandating immediate installation.
