Wayne Township adopts solar ordinance
Wayne Township supervisors adopted a solar ordinance to regulate residential and commercial solar panels.
Township Solicitor Ryan Long said during Thursday’s meeting that residential solar on properties less than an acre is permitted in all zoning districts. Commercial solar, such as solar fields and arrays, will be permitted in the commercial and industrial zoning districts only, as was decided by the supervisors.
