Resolution 9t36-13 Page 5 SOLAR COLLECTOR SURFACE: Anv part of a solar collector that absorbs solar enerqv for use in the collector's energy transformation process. Collector surface does not include frames. supports and mountinq hardware. SOLAR ENERGY: Radiant eneray received from the sun that can be collected in the form of heat or liqht by a solar collector. SOLAR ENERGY EASEMENT: An easement that limits the heiqht or location or both, of permissible development on the burdened land in terms of a structure or veqetation or both, for the purpose of providinq access for the benefited land to wind or sunliqht �assinq over the burdened land. SOLAR ENERGY SYSTEM (SES): An active solar enerqv svstem that collects or stores solar enerqv and transforms solar energy into another form of enerqy or transfers heat from a collector to another medium usinq mechanical electrical or chemical means. SOLAR HOT WATER SYSTEM: A system that includes a solar collector and a heat exchanqer that heats or preheats water for buildinq heating systems or other hot water needs, includinq residential domestic hot water and hot water for commercial purposes. SOLAR MOUNTING DEVICES: Rackinq frames, or other devices that allow the mountinq of a solar collector onto a roof surface or the rq ound. WECS: A Wind Enerqv Conversion Svstem which is an electrical generatinq facilitv comprised of one or more wind turbines and accessory facilities includin4 but not limited to, power lines, transformers, substations and metroloqical towers that operate bv convertinq the kinetic enerqv of wind into electrical enerqy. The enerqv must be used on-site with excess eneray distributed into the electrical qrid. WECS, Larqe: A Wind Enerqv Conversion System with a capacitv over 100 kW. WECS, Small: A Wind Energy Conversion Svstem with a capacity of up to 100 kW. WIND ENERGY SYSTEM: Kinetic energy present in wind motion that can be converted into electrical enerqv. �
