Utility and transmission lines shall be placed underground to the extent feasible. (b) The height of proposed arrays and support structures shall not exceed 40 feet. Arrays, support structures and invertors do not exceed forty feet (40') in height. (c) Individual arrays /solar panels shall be designed and located in order to prevent reflective glare toward any inhabited buildings on adjacent properties as well as adjacent street rights -of -way. Reflective glare is not ordinarily associated with solar panels. Solar panels absorb rather than reflect light. The Federal Aviation Administration has given permission for solar panels to be located at airports where reducing glare is of paramount importance. The site will be designed to avoid glare toward inhabited buildings on adjacent properties as well as adjacent street rights -of -way. (d) A clearly visible warning sign concerning voltage must be placed at the base of all pad- mounted transformers and substations. The site will be appropriately signed. (e) All mechanical equipment of principal solar energy systems including any structure for batteries or storage cells, shall be completely enclosed by a minimum eight (8) foot high fence with a self - locking gate and provided with screening in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.8.
