Resident urges Mount Pleasant to enable balcony solar panels for homeowners and renters
Summary
During public comment at the April 13, 2026 meeting, resident Roxan Brown asked the board to adopt local rules to allow balcony solar panels for owners and renters, saying East Coast states already permit them and that she has contacted her state representative and senator.
During the public-comment portion of the April 13 Mount Pleasant Village Board meeting, resident Roxan Brown told trustees she and others would like the village to be ready to permit balcony solar panels for homeowners and renters.
"I'm from the East Coast and many of the states in the East Coast already have laws on the books to permit balcony, solar panels, both for homeowners and renters, but the state of Wisconsin doesn't," Brown said. She gave her address as 6650 Mariner Drive and said she had contacted her state representative and senator and encouraged the board to consider local action so the village can "start lowering our energy with solar panels."
No board action was taken during public comment. The president closed the public-comment period after Brown's remarks and the meeting proceeded to the consent agenda.
