Overview
This bill aims to encourage the use of solar panels in New Jersey by limiting how municipalities can regulate their installation on residential properties. Specifically, it prohibits zoning ordinances from restricting solar panels if they extend less than 12 inches beyond the roofline or are at least 50 feet from property boundaries. Additionally, the bill limits the fees municipalities can charge for reviewing and approving solar panel installations to cover only their actual costs.
