This part is included in your selections.
This section is included in your selections.

(1) “Alternative Energy System” means a Small Wind Energy System or Solar Energy Collection System.

(2) “Building-Integrated Solar Energy Systems” means a Solar Energy Collection System that is an integral part of a principal or Accessory Building, rather than a separate mechanical device, replacing or substituting for an architectural or structural component of the Building including, but not limited to, photovoltaic or hot water solar systems contained within roofing materials, windows, skylights and awnings.

(3) “Height” means the height of a Small Wind Energy System measured from natural Grade to the tip of the rotor blade at its highest point or highest component of the system, or the height of a Solar Energy Collection System measured from natural Grade to the highest point of the device or component of the device.

(4) “Meteorological Tower (Met tower)” means a temporary tower, housing or supporting wind measuring equipment for the purpose of establishing the viability of the wind generated energy by measuring and monitoring wind velocity, direction, shear, duration, Intensity, and regularity.

(5) “Rated Nameplate Capacity” means the maximum rated output of electric power production equipment. This output is typically specified by the manufacturer with a "nameplate" on the equipment rated in Watts (W) or British Thermal Units (BTUs).

(6) “Small Wind Energy System” means all equipment, machinery, and Structures utilized in connection with the conversion of wind to electricity. This includes, but is not limited to, storage batteries, electrical collection devices and supply equipment, transformers, service and access roads, support Structures and one or more wind turbines.

(7) “Solar Energy Collection System” means a device or combination of devices or Structures that transform direct solar energy into thermal or electrical energy and that contribute significantly to a Structure’s thermal or electrical energy supply. The energy generated may also be distributed to an energy grid. This includes, but is not limited to, solar collectors, solar panels, solar hot water heaters, storage batteries, transformers, heat exchangers and distribution components.
