Article <br /> To see if the Town will vote to amend §174-3 of the Mashpee Zoning Bylaw-Terms Defined as follows: <br /> Photovoltaic System (also referred to as Photovoltaic Installation): An active solar energy system <br /> that converts solar energy directly into electricity. <br /> Rated Nameplate Capacity:The maximum rated output of electric power production of a <br /> photovoltaic system in watts of Direct Current (DC). <br /> Solar Collector: A device, structure, or a part of a device or structure for the primary purpose of <br /> harvesting solar energy for use in a solar energy system. <br /> Solar Energy: Radiant energy received from the sun that can be collected in the form of heat or light <br /> by a solar collector. <br /> Solar Energy System: A device or structural design feature for the collection, storage and <br /> distribution of solar energy for space heating or cooling, electricity generation, or water heating. <br /> Solar Energy System, Active: A solar energy system that collects and transforms solar energy into <br /> another form of energy or transfers heat from a solar collector to another medium, via mechanical, <br /> electrical, or chemical means. <br /> Solar Energy System, Grid-Intertie: A photovoltaic system or other active solar energy system <br /> designed to generate electricity that is connected to an electric circuit served by an electric utility. <br /> Solar Energy System, Ground-Mounted: An active solar energy system that is structurally mounted <br /> to the ground and is not roof-mounted; may be of any size (small-, medium- or large-scale). <br /> Solar Energy System, Large-Scale: An active solar energy system that occupies more than 40,000 <br /> square feet of surface area (equivalent to a rated nameplate capacity of about 250kW DC or <br /> greater). <br /> Solar Energy System, Medium-Scale: An active solar energy system that occupies more than 1,750 <br /> but less than 40,000 square feet of surface area (equivalent to a rated nameplate capacity of about <br /> 10 -250 kW DC). <br /> Solar Energy System, Off-Grid: A photovoltaic system or other active solar energy system designed <br /> to generate electricity in which the circuits energized by the solar energy system are not electrically <br /> connected in any way to electric circuits that are served by an electric utility. <br /> Solar Energy System, Passive: A solar energy system that captures solar light or heat without <br /> transforming it to another form of energy or transferring the energy via a heat exchanger. <br /> Solar Energy System, Roof-Mounted: An active solar energy system that is structurally mounted to <br /> the roof of a building or structure; may be of any size (small-, medium-or large-scale). <br /> Solar Energy System, Small-Scale: An active solar energy system that occupies 1,750 square feet of <br /> surface area or less (equivalent to a rated nameplate capacity of about 15 kW DC or less). <br />
