3. Ground-mounted solar energy systems shall be set back a distance of at least 50 feet from any <br /> commercial property or use,and 25 feet from any industrial property or use. The Planning Board <br /> may reduce the minimum setback distance as appropriate based on site-specific considerations. <br /> 4. Ground-mounted solar energy systems shall be set back a distance of at least 15 feet from abutting <br /> conservation land and any property not included in the Ground-mounted solar array application. <br /> The Planning Board may reduce the minimum setback distance as appropriate based on site- <br /> specific considerations. <br /> 5. Fixed tilt Ground-mounted solar energy systems shall have a maximum height of 15 feet above <br /> grade. In the case of single or dual axis tracking Ground-mounted solar energy systems, the <br /> Planning Board may increase the maximum height as appropriate based on site-specific <br /> considerations. <br /> 6. Inverters,energy storage systems,and transmission system substations shall beset back a distance <br /> of at least 200 feet from any residence. The Planning Board may reduce the minimum setback <br /> distance as appropriate based on site-specific considerations. <br /> F. Special Permits Rules and Application Requirements <br /> A Solar Energy System Special Permit shall not be granted unless each of the following <br /> requirements, in addition.to the requirements in §174-24 C Special Permit use, are satisfied: <br /> 1. A properly completed and executed application form and application fee <br /> 2. Any requested waivers <br /> 3. Name, address, phone number and signature of the project proponent, as well as all co- <br /> proponents or property owners, if any <br /> 4. Name, contact information and signature of any agents representing the project proponent <br /> 5. Name, address, and contact information for proposed system installer <br /> 6. Documentation of actual or prospective access and control of the project site sufficient to <br /> allow for construction and operation of the proposed solar energy system <br /> 7. Proposed hours of operation and construction activity <br /> 8. Blueprints or drawings of the solar energy system signed by a Massachusetts licensed <br /> Registered Professional Engineer showing the proposed layout of the system and any <br /> potential shading from nearby structures <br /> 9. Utility Notification -evidence that the utility company that operates the electrical grid <br /> where a grid-intertie solar energy system is to be located has been informed of the system <br /> owner or operator's intent to install an interconnected facility and acknowledges receipt of <br /> such notification, and a copy of an Interconnection Application filed with the utility <br /> including a one or three line electrical diagram detailing the solar electric installation, <br /> associated components, and electrical interconnection methods, with all Massachusetts <br /> Electrical Code (527 CMR§ 12.00) compliant disconnects and overcurrent devices. Off-grid <br /> solar energy systems shall be exempt from this requirement. <br />
