The Town of Bedford, New York allows solar energy collectors by-right in all districts. The solar energy collectors are designated as accessory buildings and structures and must comply with the building requirements and setbacks for accessory buildings and structures. However, to maximize the efficiency of solar energy collectors, the collectors do not have to follow standard height limitations as set in the code. The ordinance states that the solar energy collector does not have to comply with the maximum height standard, but the collector must not be fifteen feet above the roof nor can the collector cover more than 10% of the total roof area.
