Solar Rights Act

The Solar Rights Act governs the legal status of solar energy systems and access to sunlight as a property interest, establishing solar rights that a property owner may hold and exercise. It defines the terms used to identify such rights, sets out the conditions and limits under which they may be claimed or restricted, and addresses the role of county and municipal governments in regulating them. It also provides for solar rights to be recorded, so that they attach to the property and give notice to others with an interest in the land.
