Thompsontown Borough, Juniata County

"Classification. A. Roof-mounted Accessory Solar Energy Systems ("ASES") shall be allowed in any area of the municipality and may be installed upon receipt of the necessary construction, electrical and/or mechanical permit(s). This ordinance applies to ASES to be installed and constructed for residential use. No ground-mounted ASES shall be permitted anywhere within the Borough. B. Solar Energy Systems that are the primary use of a lot or Large-Scale Solar Electric Energy Facilities are not permitted within the Borough, including ground mounted Principal Solar Energy Systems ("PSES"). A Solar Energy System shall be considered a PSES when it is situated on an area of land or other area used for a solar collection system principally used to capture solar energy, convert it to electrical energy or thermal power and supply electrical or thermal power primarily for off-site use. This policy furthers the general welfare of the Borough as properties within the Borough are limited in size and unable to safely accommodate large scale solar energy systems."
