Grid-interne Solar System - A photovoltaic solar system that is connected to an electric circuit <br />served by an electric utility company. <br />Off-grid Solar System - A photovoltaic solar system in which the circuits energized by the solar <br />system are not electrically connected in any way to electric circuits that are served by an electric <br />utility company. <br />Passive Solar System - 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 />Photovoltaic System - An active solar energy system that converts solar energy directly into <br />electricity. <br />Renewable Energy Easement, Solar Energy Easement - An easement that limits the height or <br />location, or both, of permissible development on the burdened land in terms of a structure or <br />vegetation, or both, for the purpose of providing access for the benefited land to wind or sunlight <br />passing over the burdened land. <br />Renewable Energy System - A solar energy or wind energy system. Renewable energy systems <br />do not include passive systems that serve a dual function, such as a greenhouse or window. <br />Roof Pitch -The final exterior slope of a building roof calculated by the rise over the run, <br />typically but not exclusively expressed in twelfths such as 3/12, 9/12, 12/12. <br />Solar Access - A view of the sun, from any point on the collector surface, that is not obscured by <br />any vegetation, building, or object located on parcels of land other than the parcel upon which the <br />solar collector is located, between the hours of 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM Standard time on any day <br />of the year. <br />Solar Collector - A device, structure or a part of a device or structure for which the primary <br />purpose is to transform solar radiant energy into thermal, mechanical, chemical, or electrical <br />energy. <br />Solar Collector Surface -Any part of a solar collector that absorbs solar energy for use in the <br />collector's energy transformation process. Collector surface does not include frames, supports <br />and mounting hardware. <br />Solar Daylighting - A device specifically designed to capture and redirect the visible portion of <br />the solar spectrum, while controlling the infrared portion, for use in illuminating interior building <br />spaces in lieu of artificial lighting. <br />Solar Energy -Radiant energy received from the sun that can be collected in the form of heat or <br />light by a solar collector. <br />Solar Energy Device - A system or series of mechanisms designed primarily to provide heating, <br />to provide cooling, to produce electrical power, to produce mechanical power, to provide solar <br />daylighting or to provide any combination of the foregoing by means of collecting and <br />transferring solar generated energy into such uses either by active or passive means. Such <br />systems may also have the capability of storing such energy for future utilization. Passive solar <br />systems shall clearly be designed as a solar energy device such as a trombe wall and not merely a <br />part of a normal structure such as a window. <br />Page 2 of 5 <br />
