(A) Solar energy is a renewable and non-polluting energy resource that can prevent fossil fuel emissions and reduce a municipality’s energy load. Energy generated from solar energy systems can be used to offset energy demand on the grid where excess solar power is generated.
(B) The use of solar energy equipment for the purpose of providing electricity and energy for heating and/or cooling is an option to the residents of the village and the village realizes the necessity and importance on supplementing its current zoning ordinance to include regulations for residents relating to the installation and maintenance of solar energy systems.
