Monopole tower means a tower consliucted of tapered tubes that fit together symmetrically and are stacked one section on top of another and bolted to a concrete foundation without support Closed loop ground source heat pump system means a system that circulates a heat transfer cables. fluid,typically food-grade antifreeze,flvough pipes or coils buried beneath the land surface or anchored to the bottom in a body of water. Open loop ground source heat pump system means a system that uses groundwater as a heat transfer fluid by drawing groundwater from a well to a heat pump and then dischatging the water Flush-mounted solar energ�system means a roof-mounted system mounted directly abutting over land,directly in a water body or into an injection well. the mof. The pitch of the solaz collector may exceed the pitch of ihe roof up to 5%but shall not be higher than]0 inches above the roof. Passive solar energy system means a system that captures solar light or heat without transfortning it to another form of energy or transferring the energy via a heat exchanger. Grou»d source heat pump system meens a system that uses the relatively constant temperature of the earUi or a body of water to provide heating in the winter and cooling in the Photovoltaic system means a solar energy system that converts solar energy directly into s�nnmer. System components include open or closed loops of pipe,coils or plates;a fluid that electricity. absorbs and transfeis heat;and a heat pump unit that processes heat for use or disperses heat for � coolicig;and an air distribution system.
