Relevant text

"... A Commercial Solar Energy System owner shall post a bond or other financial security in a form acceptable to the Township at the time of zoning approval to cover the cost of equipment removal. Any and all additional or unanticipated costs of the system removal, including the full cost in the event the bond has expired or is insufficient, shall be the responsibility of the owner of the solar system. If a Commercial Solar Energy System remains non-functional or inoperative for a continuous period of one (1) year, and has not been removed, the System may be deemed to be abandoned, and may constitute a public nuisance and be condemned by the Township Zoning Officer as allowed for by the International Property Maintenance Code, 2015 Edition, (Part 2 of Chapter 5 of the Oley Township Code of Ordinances)."
