Easton Could Regulate Solar Panels

Easton's Planning Commission is reviewing a proposal that would regulate the installation of solar panels, the Express Times reports.

The ordinance was introduced by Councilwoman Elinor Warner, who told the Express she doesn't want to see solar panels go to the way of satellite dishes: installed without much thought to how they look.

Her ordinance will mandate property owners install grand panels in backyards, and roof panels on flat roofs.

In a related story, the Easton Area School Board on Wednesday will consider a proposal from an energy company that has asked the school district to consider a grant to build solar projects.

That compan, Tangent Energy, . But the Express says some board members are hesitating about pursuing the solar grants.
