Solar permits in Delano are processed under California's Solar Rights Act (Cal. Civ. Code §714) and AB 2188's expedited permitting requirements (Cal. Gov't Code §65850.5). The Building Department issues residential rooftop solar permits over-the-counter for systems up to 10 kW.
Delano Development Code §20.10.330 requires that, to the extent practical, roof-mounted solar collectors be placed in the location least visible from a public right-of-way without significantly reducing operating efficiency. Wall-mounted and ground-mounted collectors must be screened from public view at street level. Exterior collector surfaces must have a matte finish.
Solar Rights Act §714 invalidates HOA or local rules that 'significantly increase the cost' or 'decrease the efficiency' of a solar system.
