generating by means of any combination of collecting, transferring, solar - generated energy_ or water heating. SOLAR ENERGY SYSTEMS (A) In general. Solar energy systems shall be permitted in those zoning districts where permitw as an accessory use, subject to the standards of this article. Solar collector surfaces and all mounting devices shall comply with the minimum yard requirements of the district in which they are located. Screening of solar collector surfaces shall not be required. 11 Notwithstanding the height limitations of the zoning district, building mounted solar nergv systems shall not extend higher than three (3) feet above the ridge level of a roof on a structure with a gable, hip, or gambrel roof and shall not extend higher than ten (101 feet above the surface of the roof when installed on flat or shed roof. 21 The solar collector surface and mounting devices for building- mounted solar energy systems shall be set back not less than one (1) foot from the exterior perimeter of a roof for every one (1) foot that the system extends above the roof surface on which the system is mounted Solar energy systems that extend less than one (1) foot above the roof surface shall be exempt from this provision however shall be set back from the roof edge by a minimum of 1 foot 31 The collector surface and mounting devices for building- mounted solar energy v tems shall not extend beyond the exterior perimeter of the building on which the system is mounted or built. (4) Solar energy systems shall be designed to blend into the architecture of the building or be screened from routine view from public rights -of -way other than all!-,Ys. The color of the solar collector is not required to be consistent with the roofing materials 5) Building-mounted systems, excluding building - integrated systems snail not cover more than 80% of the roof upon which the panels are mounted Regulations governing solar energy systems are established to provide for appropriate locations for solar energy systems, to ensure compatibility with surrounding uses and to promote safe and effective use of solar energy to increase opportunities for generation of renewable energy.
