Pennsylvania HB1260 establishes solar-ready requirements for large warehouses and distribution centers, authorizes tax exemptions, and imposes duties.

Pennsylvania HB1260, known as the Solar-Ready Warehouse and Distribution Center Act, mandates that large-scale warehouses and distribution centers be designed to facilitate solar photovoltaic installations. It requires at least 40% of the roof area to be suitable for solar panels, structural integrity to support solar systems, and conduit pathways for wiring. The act authorizes local taxing authorities to provide tax exemptions for eligible project costs related to solar-ready retrofits, with a maximum exemption period of 10 years.
