Historic Portsmouth says OK to solar panels
Filed under Alternative energy by david brooks at 11:14 am
One of the obstacles to individual solar power is that many people think the panels are kind of ugly. So it’s good news to read in the Portsmouth Herald that the Historic District in that city has OK’d rooftop panels on an apartment building that dates to 1805.
It’s hard to think of any New Hampshire group likely to be snootier than the Historic District Commission in upper-scale, seacoast Portsmouth - so if they realize this is an important move, anybody should.
If the building owner had wanted to install a wind turbine, I suspect things would have gone differently. But small-scale wind in an urban area isn’t worth much, anyway.
