The Doylestown Borough Historic & Architectural Review Board voted to recommend approval for a rooftop solar installation at 163 E. Ashland Street on July 23, 2026. A representative of Solar World Energy returned with additional documentation requested at the June meeting and explained the contractor relocated previously visible conduit and junction boxes to the rear elevation.
Board member Ralph Fey said the submitted packets addressed the board's prior questions; the meeting minutes record the project will use panels “approximately 3’ x 5’ on this project.” The board recommended approval of the Certificate of Appropriateness as presented (motion Fey; second Chase).
The board’s approval is limited to the Certificate of Appropriateness as presented to HARB; any work affecting zoning or other permits was not recorded in the minutes. No statutory citations or building-permit details were noted in the record. The project’s aesthetic change (conduit relocation and panel dimensions) and the board’s condition-free recommendation were the primary bases for the approval.
