Environment More Important Than Local Scenery: Constitutional Court Lifts Ban on Visible Photovoltaic Systems

A homeowner had filed a lawsuit against the regulation that stipulated that systems must not be visible. The ruling is likely to have far-reaching consequences for similar restrictions by municipalities throughout Austria, according to the Ö1 "Morning Journal" on Thursday.
