The sustainability of the built environment in the Town, in
the face of rising energy costs and of the threat of climate change,
is found to be of increasing and vital import to the public health,
safety and welfare. Solar energy that is generated on-site can address
these issues. The purpose of this article is to promote the use of
solar energy, balance the benefits of solar energy systems with their
aesthetic impacts, and provide for the installation and construction
of these systems, subject to reasonable conditions.
This article applies to solar energy systems to be installed
and constructed after the effective date of the article.
