For many people in the historic preservation space, there is a belief that solar negatively impacts the character of historic buildings. As interest in solar continues to grow across the country, historic districts will face increased pressure to allow solar. It is important for planners, architects, and preservation advocates to understand how solar can be incorporated into historic buildings and develop policies that allow solar while preserving the character of the building. This session will look at the costs and benefits of installing solar and discuss what a solar installation involves. It will also cover the various ways that solar can be incorporated into historic buildings and review different ways to address conflicts that could arise between owners that want solar and historic districts.
