In an effort to “encourage solar energy” in the city of Montgomery, the city is “suspending fees for solar panel construction” for several months, Cincinnati.com reports. Montgomery City Council “unanimously approved a moratorium on the collection of building and zoning fees for solar installations from July 1 to Dec. 31 with a cap of $1,000,” according to the article.
