Said affected party shall use reasonable efforts to minimize the impacts of the failure or delay.

Mechanical equipment. All items not listed in these definitions that are directly related to construction and operation of a solar energy system and/or solar energy facility including, but not limited to, on-site transmission lines, pumps, batteries, inverters, mounting brackets, framing, foundations, or other structures.

Off-grid solar photovoltaic system with battery back-up. Solar electrical systems designed to operate independently from the local utility grid and provide electricity (e.g., to a building, boat, recreational vehicle, sign, remote pump, or gates). These systems usually require a battery bank to store electricity generated by solar energy for use at night or in cloudy conditions.

Photovoltaic (PV) system. A solar energy system that produces electricity using semiconductor devices, called photovoltaic cells, which generate electricity whenever light strikes them. Included in a PV system are the solar energy generation mechanisms (e.g., panels or other assemblies of solar electric cells), inverters (devices that convert direct current electricity produced by the PV system to usable alternating current), batteries and battery systems that store electrical energy from the PV system for future use, meters and electric transmission wires and conduits that facilitate connections with users and/or the local power grid.

Power inverter. A device that inverts the direct current (DC) electricity produced by a solar energy system and/or solar energy facility into usable alternating current (AC).

Solar array. Photovoltaic modules or panels that generate solar electricity and are assembled or connected to provide a single electrical output.

Solar array, tracking. A solar array that follows the path of the sun to optimize the amount of solar radiation received by the device. A tracking solar array may be ground mounted or building mounted.

Solar access easement. A recorded easement obtained in accordance with O.C.G.A. § 44-9-20 et seq., the purpose of which is to secure the right to receive sunlight across real property of another party for continued access to sunlight necessary to operate a solar energy system and/or solar energy facility.

Solar energy. Radiant energy received from the sun that can be collected in the form of heat or light by a solar collector or solar energy system and/or solar energy facility.

Solar energy facility. The area of land devoted to solar energy system installation. The principal use of a solar energy facility is as an interconnection with the local utility power grid for distribution to more than one property or consumer in the electricity market as a commercial venture and includes the term "solar farm."

Solar energy system. A device or structural feature that provides for the collection of solar energy for electricity generation, consumption, or transmission, or for thermal applications. Solar energy system refers only to photovoltaic systems that convert solar energy directly into electricity through a semiconductor device or solar thermal systems that use collectors to convert the sun's rays into useful forms of energy for water heating, space heating, or space cooling. Solar energy system excludes concentrated solar power which uses mirrors to focus the energy from the sun to produce electricity.

Solar energy system, building mounted. A solar energy system, which may include solar thermal panels, solar hot water system panels, and/or photovoltaic panels, which are mounted to a building or structure, to provide energy primarily for on-site use. Building-mounted solar panels may be flush-mounted (i.e., flush to a building roof or building façade in a manner that the panel cannot be angled or raised), or as one or more modules fixed to frames which can be tilted or automatically adjusted at an optimal angle for sun exposure.

Solar energy system, building integrated. A subset of building mounted systems, building integrated systems are photovoltaic materials that are built into, rather than installed onto the structure. These systems may take the shape of conventional building materials such as roofing shingles, skylights, windows, and wall surfaces.

Solar energy system, ground mounted. A solar energy system that is directly installed on or mounted to the ground and is not attached or affixed to any structure, to provide energy primarily for on-site use. Ground mounted systems are considered accessory structures. Ground mounted solar panels and mechanical equipment may be used in combination with a building mounted solar energy system. The footprint of a ground mounted solar energy system is calculated by drawing a perimeter around the outermost solar energy system panels and any equipment necessary for the functioning of the solar energy system, such as transformers and inverters. The footprint does not include any visual buffer or perimeter fencing. Transmission lines (or portions thereof) required to connect the solar energy system to a utility or consumer outside the solar energy system perimeter shall not be included in calculating the footprint.

Ground mounted solar energy systems shall be delineated by size as follows:

a.

Small-scale ground mounted solar energy system—footprint less than one acre.

b.

Intermediate-scale ground mounted solar energy system—footprint one to five acres.

c.

Large-scale ground mounted solar energy system—footprint greater than five acres.

Solar energy system, roof mounted. A solar energy system that is structurally mounted to the roof of a house, building, or other structure and does not qualify as an integrated solar energy system.

Solar farm. A solar energy facility, typically with multiple solar arrays, designed and used for generating electric energy by a photovoltaic system.
