Subject: [MassHistPres] Solar Panels

The Town's Building Department has informed me that the Historic District Commission will be getting an application to install roof-top solar-electric panels on a building in the Historic District.

Does the MGL and/or CMRs that govern sustainable energy/solar-electric panels contain any wording that supercedes an Historic District Commission's authority to preserve the appearance of the historic district?
