§ 5301.63.

For the purpose of ensuring adequate access of solar energy collection devices to

sunlight, any person may grant a solar access easement.  Such easements shall be in writing and shall be subject to the same conveyance and

recording requirements as other easements. Any instrument that grants a solar access easement shall include: (A) A description of the real property burdened and benefited by the solar access easement; (B) A description of the limits in heights, locations, or both, of permissible development

on the burdened land in terms of structures, vegetation, or both, for the purpose

of providing solar access for the benefited land; (C) Any terms or conditions under which the solar access easement is granted or may be

terminated; (D) A term stating that the solar access easement runs with the land, unless terminated

in accordance with the terms of the easement regarding termination, or unless otherwise

agreed by the parties; (E) Any other provisions necessary or desirable to execute the instrument. The owner of the benefited land may prevent any obstruction of the solar access described

in the solar access easement by any equitable remedy, and may maintain any action

at law for any damages caused by any such obstruction. Nothing in this section shall affect the status of any recorded easement to protect

or ensure adequate access of solar energy collection devices to sunlight conveyed

prior to the effective date of this section.
