Can a house slab be built to accommodate future solar panel conduit runs?

Yes, genuinely worth doing if you know solar’s in your future plans — empty conduit can be laid within the slab now, avoiding genuinely disruptive chasing or surface-mounted cabling once the home’s finished.

This is a small, low-cost addition at slab stage compared to retrofitting later, so it’s worth raising with your contractor even if solar isn’t an immediate priority.
