The Town of Schroeppel recognizes that solar energy is a clean,
readily available and renewable energy source. Development of solar
energy systems offers an energy source that can prevent fossil fuel
emissions, reduce the Town's energy demands and attract and promote
green business development within the Town. The Town of Schroeppel
has determined that comprehensive regulations regarding the development
of solar energy systems are necessary to protect the interests of
the Town, its residents, and businesses. This article is intended
to promote the effective and efficient use of solar energy systems;
establish provisions for the placement, design, construction, operation
and removal of such systems in order to uphold the public health,
safety and welfare; and to ensure that such systems will not have
a significant adverse impact on the aesthetic qualities and character
of the Town.
This article shall apply to all solar energy systems in the
Town of Schroeppel which are installed or modified after the effective
date of this article. All solar energy systems which are installed
or modified after the effective date of this article shall be in compliance
with all of the provisions hereof.
