Casco Township passed Ordinance #30-83 to add provisions addressing small, medium, and large solar energy systems in its zoning ordinance. The ordinance defines small solar energy systems as single residential or small business-scale solar energy conversion systems consisting of roof panels, ground-mounted solar arrays, or other solar energy fixtures, and associated control or conversion electronics, occupying no more than one-half acre of land and that produce utility power primarily to onsite users or customers. Medium solar energy systems are defined as private onsite or utility-scale solar energy conversion systems with many ground-mounted solar arrays in rows or roof panels, and associated control or conversion electronics, occupying more than one-half acre but no more than ten acres of land and that produce utility power to onsite and offsite customers. Finally, the ordinance defines large solar energy systems as utility-scale solar energy conversion systems with many ground-mounted solar arrays in rows, and associated control or conversion electronics, occupying more than ten acres of land and that produce utility power to offsite customers.
