Relevant text

"Whenever practical, all principal solar energy systems should be attached to a building; or if ground mounted and/or freestanding, the applicant shall demonstrate by credible evidence that: a. The area proposed for the principal solar energy system does not predominantly consist of Class I, II or III soils, as identified in the soil survey, or contains agricultural soils but are not suitable for agricultural purposes, such as an industrial site, and b. Such facilities cannot feasibly be attached to a building due to structural limitations of the building."
