Pennsylvania SB983 establishes the Commercial/Industrial Rooftop Solar Program to facilitate solar energy generation on nonresidential rooftops.

Pennsylvania SB983, known as the Commercial/Industrial Rooftop Solar Act, creates a program for solar energy generation on nonresidential rooftops. The act defines a "commercial/industrial rooftop solar project" as a solar energy system with a capacity of up to three megawatts on a nonresidential building's rooftop. The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission will establish this program, which allows for multiple projects on the same or adjacent rooftops, provided each project is individually metered and does not exceed three megawatts.
