Small solar systems limited to the lesser of 15 kilowatts (15 kw) or 110% of the average of the three prior years’ electrical energy consumption. Solar panels and solar arrays may be rooftop mounted or ground mounted in the rear yard area only, at the applicant’s discretion. Ground-mounted solar panel arrays shall be prohibited from being located within the front yard area. In the event that an applicant proposes to locate ground-mounted solar panel arrays in the side yard area, application shall be made to the Zoning Officer for the grant of a waiver. In order to receive such waiver, the applicant shall demonstrate to the Zoning Officer that the location of the solar panel arrays on the roof of the residence (or other structure on the lot) or in the rear yard area is impracticable or will exact undue hardship because of peculiar conditions pertaining to the land in question. In the event that the Zoning Officer has doubt or difficulty with making a determination as to the granting of such waiver or in the event that the Zoning Officer denies such waiver, application shall be made to the Land Use Board for the grant of such waiver, which shall be treated as an exception pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:55D-51. All ground-mounted small solar systems will be located upon the lot in closer proximity to the principal residence thereon than to any neighboring homes or building envelopes on adjoining properties that are unimproved. Ground-mounted solar arrays permitted by the Land Use Board, upon proper application, to be located within the side yard setback area shall be effectively screened from view from the street and adjacent properties by evergreen plantings having a minimum planted height of 48 inches and a maximum on-center planting spacing of 10 feet to create a continuous visual buffer. After completion of installation, the applicant shall provide written notice of the existence of such small solar energy system to the emergency service providers (Fredon Township Fire Department and Fredon Emergency Medical Services) identifying the subject property by block and lot, street address and a graphic plan or narrative identifying the location of the electrical service disconnect for the solar energy system.
