Going Green DEVELOPING DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR SOLAR PANELS Kimberly Kooles, NAPC Support Staff The rapidly growing trend toward retrofitting homes to be moro energy efficient has brought an increase in the number of applications for installing solar panels on build- ings within locally designated histodc districts. This increase in solar panel applica- tions has prompted numerous local proservation commissions to hastily develop guidelines for them with varying degrees of success. The following Sample Guidelines for Solar Panels for Locally Designated Histodc Properties have been developed by the National Alliance of Proservation Commissions as a starting point for local preserva- tion commissions developing their own guidelines for solar panels. These solar panels' Iow proffie amJ location make them unobtrusive even though they are visib{e from the public right of way. Photo courtesy of Paul Trudeau Sample Guidelines for Solar Panels for Locally Designated Historic Properties When planning the instalation of solar panels the over- all objective is to preserve character-defining featuros and historic fabric while accommodating the need for solar access to the groatest extent possible. All so- lar panel installations must be considerod on a case by case basis rocognizing that the best option will depend on the characteristics of the property under consideration. Some guidelines apply to virtually all installation options and aro ropeated in each section. All solar panel installations should conform to the Secretary of the Interior's Stan- dards for Rehabilitation. Applicable Standards aro: Standard Two: The histodc character of a property shall be rotained and proserved. The romoval of historic materials or alteration of features and spaces that character- ize a property shall be avoided. Standard Nine: New additions, extedor alterations, or rolated new construction shall not destroy historic materials that characterize the property. The new work shall be dif- ferontiated from the old and shall be compatible with the massing, size, scale, and ar- chitecturol featuros to protect the histodc integrity of the property and its environment. NEWS From the NATIONAL ALLIANCE o/PRESERVATION COMMISSIONS Integrity 1: Freestanding or Detached On-Site · Freestanding or detached on-site solar panels should be installed in locations that minimize visability from the public right of way. These systems should be screened from the public right of way with materials elsewhere in the district such as fencing or vegetation of suitable scale for the district and setting. · Placement and design should not detract from the historic character of the site or destroy historic landscape materialsing. Consideration to the visibility of solar panels from neighborfng properties should be taken, without infringing upon the proper solar access necessary. 2: New Construction On-Site · Solar panels should be integrated into the initial design of new construction or infill projects, when possible, to assure cohesion of design within a historic context. · Solar panels should be installed on rear slopes or other locations not highly visible from the public right- of-way whenever possible. Panels should be installed fiat and not alter the slope of the roof.. · Flat roof structures should have solar panels set back from the roof edge to mini- mize visibility. Pitch and elevation should be adjusted to reduce visibility from the public right-of-way. · Use solar panels and mounting systems that ara comparable in color to established roof materials. Mechanical equipment associated with the solar panel system should be treated to be as unobtrusive as possible. · Use of solar systems in windows or on walls, .siding, or shutters should be installed with limited visibility from the public right-of-way. 3: Historic Accessory Structures · Solar panels should be installed on rear slopes or other locations not highly visible from the public right-of-way. Panels should be installed fiat and not alter the slope of the roof. Installation of panels must be reversible and not damage the historic integrity of the resource and district. · . Flat roof structures should have solar panel installations set back from the roof edge to minimize visibility. Pitch and elevation should be adjusted to reduce visibility from public fight-of-way. · Solar panel installations should be positioned behind existing ar- chitectural features such as parapets, dormers, and chimneys to shield visibility. · Use solar panels and mounting systems that are compatible in color to the property's roof materials. Mechanical equipment as- . sociated with the photovoltaic system should be treated to be as unobtrusive as possible. · Use of solar systems in non-historic windows or on walls, siding and shutters should be installed as to limit visibility from the public right-of- way. 4.; Primary Historic Resource tSecondarv Elevationsl · Solar panels should be installed on rear slopes or other locations not easily visible from the public right-of-way.

Pitch and elevation should be adjured to reduce visibility from pub- lic right-of-way. · Solar panels should be positioned behind existing amhitectural features such as parapets, dormers, and chimneys to shield visibility. · Use solar panels and mounting systems that are compatible in color to est~b. lished roof materials. Mechanical equipment associated with the solar panel sys- tem should be painted or treated to be as unobtrusive as possible · Use of solar systems in non-historic windows or on walls, siding, or shutters should be installed as to limit visibility from the public right-of-way. 5: Primary Elevation of Primary Resource For most properties, Iocating solar panels on the primary facad is the least de- sirable option because it will have the greatest adverse effect on the property's character defining features. All other options should be thoroughly explored. · Utilization of iow-profile solar panels is recommended: Solar shingles laminates, glazing, or similar materials should not replace original or historic materials. Use of solar systems in windows or on walls, siding, and shutters should be avoided. · Panels should be installed fiat and not alter the slope of the roof. Installation of panels must be reversible and not damage to the historic integrity of the resource and district. · Solar panels should be positioned behind existing architectural features such as parapets, dormers, and chimneys to shield visibility. · Use solar panels and mounting systems that are compatible in color to established roof materials. Mechanical equipment associated with the photovoltaic system should be treated tinted to be as unobtrusive as possible. Not Recommended for Any Reason · Removal of histodc roofing materials during the installation of solar panels. · Removing or otherwise altedng histodc roof configuration~ormers, chimneys, or other feature.s~to add solar panels. · Any other installation procedure that will cause irreversible changes to historic features or materials. When considering retrofitting measures, historic building owners should keep in mind that there are no permanent solutions. One can only meet the standards being ap- plied today with today's matertals and techniques. In the future, it is likely that the standards and the technologies will change and a whole new retrofitting plan may be necessary. Thus, owners of histortc buildings should limit retrofitting measures to those that achieve reasonable energy savings, at reasonable costs, with the least intrusion or impact on the character of the building. ~ For additional information see ITS Number 52 "Incorporating Solar Panels in a Re- habilitation Project" from the National Park Service available at http://www, nps. gov/ history/hps/tps/tax/its/its._52.pdf. 24 NEWS From the NATIONAL ALLIANCE o/PRESERVATION COMMISSIONS LE~LNO~CE ' formation of Educational Consulting LLC, g ]imRed li- ~.Articles of Ore filed w/ of ~tata of New York (SSNY) servtcc of process. 6th Ay- NY 11944.
