NJ Solar Zoning Bills Poised For Full Assembly Vote

The New Jersey Assembly Housing and Local Government Committee cleared legislation that would limit the ability of any municipality to use local zoning to restrict the installation of residential solar-energy systems. The Legislation now move on to the full Assembly.

S-2006 (Smith) and A-3125 (Quijano) would limit the restrictions that a municipality could impose, through zoning ordinances, on the installation of residential energy panels.

The Bills allow municipalities to limit the installation of solar panels on the roof of a residential building or structure only if the installation rises more than 12 inches above the roof surface or extend more than 12 inches beyond the roof line.  

The legislation also limits restrictions on ground based Solar Installations as well as fees that municipalitiees may charge.
