Solar access

Solar access refers to the ability of a property or building to receive sunlight without being blocked by neighboring structures or natural features. It’s important for natural lighting, heating, and overall comfort. Good solar access ensures that sunlight reaches windows and outdoor areas, enhancing energy efficiency and well-being. Factors influencing solar access include building placement, height, orientation, and surrounding landscape. Many cities have regulations or guidelines to protect solar access, especially in densely developed areas, promoting sustainable and livable communities by maximizing sunlight exposure for properties.
