Dundee Municipal Code to Protect Solar Energy Access

This rule permits the use of active or passive solar energy systems including solar collectors, storage facilities, and distribution components for space heating and cooling and domestic water heating within all zones of the City. Requirements include:
(1) Solar collectors and the equipment used for the mounting and operation of such collectors, where necessary, may be elevated above the 30-foot height limitation in residential zones. However, elevation of solar collectors shall not restrict solar access to adjacent properties;
(2) Chimneys, communication transmission towers, television, radio masts, or landscaping shall not significantly restrict or impair solar access to buildings or solar collector locations.
