Requires certain large developments, to be used as retail facility or warehouse, to be designed and constructed to accommodate load associated with solar panels.

This bill requires new large retail facilities and warehouses (75,000+ square feet) to be designed with roofs capable of supporting solar panels. Specifically, the roof structure must accommodate the weight of operational solar systems covering at least 40% of the roof area (minus skylights, decks, or required setbacks). It mandates the Department of Community Affairs to establish standards for "solar-ready" construction, ensuring future solar installation is structurally feasible without major retrofits. The law applies to buildings where construction permits were not finalized before the bill's effective date.
