Solar Energy

This model ordinance provides a template to help planners in Maine draft land-use and development regulations that permit solar development at different scales and in different land-use contexts.

Site plan review address standards for roof-mounted, small-scale, medium-scale, and large-scale ground-mounted solar energy systems; solar energy system fencing; additional standards for large-scale solar energy systems; site plan application and review; and review processes.

Conditional use permit provisions address purpose, definitions, applicability, permitting, and dimensional standards.
