An Act to encourage solar development on buildings and disturbed land

HD 610 expands opportunities for solar energy development by allowing larger solar projects (up to 5 megawatts) on already developed sites like parking lots, landfills, and brownfields. It defines "built land" to include paved areas and disturbed land, enabling solar installations on these sites without exceeding municipal net metering capacity limits. The bill also creates new financial incentives for solar projects on such land and requires state agencies to adjust solar incentive programs by December 2023 to support these developments. This directly affects solar developers, property owners with suitable land, and municipal utilities managing grid capacity.
