Solar panels can be located on the roof of your home, on the roof of a permanent accessory building, or “ground-mounted” in your backyard. Ground-mounted systems cannot exceed 8-feet tall and have the same setback and size standards as a permanent accessory building. Maximum sizes depend on the size of the lot and the presence of any existing permanent accessory buildings. The total area of permanent accessory buildings and ground-mounted solar systems will range between 500 and 1000 square feet. Roof-mounted systems cannot extend beyond the roof’s edges or ridges and must have a maximum 8-inch separation between the system and the roof. Size is otherwise not restricted.
