Bradford Of Novi Laws and Regulations



Solar Panel Guidlines

  1. Homeowners should first consider all existing structures and landscaping before selecting a site for any proposed solar system.
  2. All plans must be preapproved by the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) prior to installation.
  3. All components of the solar system should be integrated into the design of the home. The color of the solar system components should generally conform to the color of the roof shingles to the extent practical. Solar “shingles” that mimic the look of a composite shingle are acceptable but should match the color of the current roof shingles as much as is practical.
  4. Pursuant to [insert applicable ordinance], the installation of all solar heating and cooling systems shall only be done by a licensed installer or journeyman plumber. Applications submitted to the ARC should include the following:
    • A diagram “drawn to scale” by the licensed contractor installing the system showing where the system will be installed;
    • Photos of the roof area where the array will be mounted;
    • Material to be used and/or manufacturer’s description of the system, photos and/or pictures of the system and color of the system.
    • Where possible, provide photos of similar existing systems as examples.
  5. All painted surfaces will be kept in good repair.
