Local governments in Indiana are seeing increasing interest from property owners in solar energy installations and are having to address a variety of solar land uses in their development regulations.

The model has been tailored to reflect Indiana-specific enabling statutes, ordinance practices, and community priorities currently seen in the state, with input from local planning, solar industry, and other experts.
