               <span class="ital">Solar energy system (SES)</span> means the components and subsystems required to convert solar energy into electric
               or thermal energy suitable for use. The area of the system includes all the land inside
               the perimeter of the system, which extends to any fencing. The term applies, but is
               not limited to, solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, solar thermal systems, and solar
               hot water systems. A system fits into one of three system types: level 1 SES, level
               2 SES, and level 3 SES.
