The city proposed raising the maximum allowed kW for residential renewable energy systems. Following DRC comments, it would also drop references to heating and fluid heat systems and add an electrical energy storage section requiring compliance with International Fire Code Section 1207. The draft ordinance says the commission forwarded a positive recommendation, and the council took it up Sept. 8.
