If there is a Certified Local Government that oversees modifications to the buildings then there most likely are guidelines on appropriate placement of the solar panels.
I serve on a Historic Preservation Commission and we do not recommend installation of solar panel arrays on prominent elevations of contributing homes in the historic districts. On occasion they are approved on additions, garages, or non-historic portions of the building.
You will need to consider how installation of the solar panels would impact the character defining historic features of the buildings you are proposing to install them on.

Subject: Solar arays on historic home roofs
A solar co is offering to do solor arays on roofs in our town, Pound Ridge, NY. for a very good deal. Many homes are in the Historic District which is on the National & State Register of Historic Places. We do plan on contacting these agencies. But has anyone had this issue?
Thank you.
