According to the town's zoning and subdivision ordinance, residential solar panels are exempt from zoning permit and setback requirements (§510.I Exemption c).

As part of the conditional review process, one review standard is utilization of energy resources, and project must not unreasonably harm any neighbor's access to solar energy (§540.III.E).

Subdivisions and PUDs are subject to general standards, including an energy conservation section encouraging building orientation to enable solar access (§571.VII).
