Nowadays energy demand and searching for renewable no polluted source such as Renewable Energy No Conventional (ERNC) has become crucial in the world. Solar energy is one of them whose insolation has a key importance in the built environment because obstructions coming from ending morphology of the real estate. Although that it is stated that link between urban morphology and building insolation for active systems has not yet been tackled in the national legislation. The objective of the article is to think about a key concept: solar access because it is relevant for equity viewpoint. The paper focus on two legislative frameworks embodied to solar urbanism design and power such as Ordenanza General de Urbanismo (OGUC) and Net Metering Law (NM). To demonstrate unlink a hypothetical case is studied for its implications on buildings, allotment and public space. Final result is putting on ground a spatial problem to discuss the issue based on facts.
