SUBJECT: Combined Review for Kessler Residence - 6210 E. Indian Bend Road. Application for roof mounted solar panels.
The owner of the property located at 6210 E. Indian Bend Road submitted an application to add roof mounted solar panels on top of the house.
Solar Panels
The home was constructed in 2015 and the applicant is proposing to add 10 solar panel modules/arrays on top of the house. The panels are rectilinear and will be mounted on the roof. A new 20" tall metal facia will be placed around the panels to screen them. The new facia will be painted the same color as the house, which has a light reflective value of 23%. The new solar panels and facia are below the 24' natural grade height limit and do not increase the setback of the house nor the amount of disturbance on site.
The solar panels will have black frames and the racking system will be painted the same color as the home (a dark beige color). The solar system inverters will be located in a utility room in the house. The electrical disconnects will be placed on the side of the house and painted to match the home.
