SOMERSET, Pa. – Somerset County has a new ordinance regulating solar facilities. But landowners planning small projects for their own use won't have to comply with the new restrictions.
Proposed solar farms of 1,000 square feet or smaller are exempt from the law approved by the Somerset County commissioners, county Planning Director Chadd Sines said.
