Board asks to limit garage solar panels to rear; structural concerns cited

May 20, 2026

An applicant had proposed solar panels on both sides of a garage roof; the board asked that panels be located on the back where they are not visible from the street and noted an engineer's structural concerns about moving panels.

The full story

The board reviewed a garage roof plan that originally proposed panels on both sides. A board member (Kate referenced in meeting) asked that panels be located on the back of the garage so they would not be visible from the street; the applicant and an engineer later indicated that structural reasons limit placement. The clerk suggested the minutes be edited to reflect a recommendation that the engineer’s structural concerns be noted.
