Summary

Solar Access Alternative Act - Directs the Secretary of Energy, acting in conjunction with any interested State, to: (1) develop a plan to enable the State to conduct solar access reviews to identify legal alternatives to assure access to direct sunlight and methods of adopting such legal alternatives; and (2) make available all pertinent information relating to solar access to appropriate regional solar energy centers. Directs regional solar energy centers, in conjunction with the National Solar Energy Research Institute, to act as clearinghouses for information regarding solar access. Requires each department, agency, or instrumentality of the United States engaged in constructing or maintaining any structure to do so in a manner which is consistent, to the extent practicable, with State and local laws governing access to sunlight.
