The vote supports asking the Select Board and Town Meeting to encourage rooftop solar to be included when new public buildings are designed. The proposal would allow the Town or school facilities departments to manage the systems, while Concord Municipal Light Plant would handle utility interconnection rather than maintenance. The policy would include an appeal option when solar is not appropriate for a particular building.
