WDM solar ordinance may be too restrictive, energy advocates claim
West Des Moines is considering new rules for solar panel installations – especially those at ground level – that clean energy advocates consider too restrictive, The Des Moines Register reported. The city is drafting an ordinance that would dictate where the panels could be located and require screening to shield their view from neighboring properties. West Des Moines would be one of the first cities in the state to create rules governing solar panels. The decisions it makes could have ramifications elsewhere if other cities decide to follow its lead.
