[MassHistPres] Solar Devices on Roofs

[Eric Hertfelder]

My local historic district commission in Bristol, RI is beginning to get
queries from homeowners about installing solar devices on the roofs of
historic structures.  These may be thin photo-cell material, or the bulkier
units designed to heat hot water.

 

At present there are no guidelines addressing this issue directly.

 

Does anyone know of a community that has tackled the question and produced
new or supplemental design guidelines covering such installations?

 

Thank you.
