Q: Can an HOA prevent us from placing solar panels on the roof of our townhome?
Can an HOA prevent us from placing solar panels on the roof of our townhome? We are in an older condominium association and the roofs are hard, flat shingles that were just replaced. If we agree to be responsible for the repairs needed due to our solar panels , do we have the right to place solar panels on the roof above our townhome?M.H.
The statutes specially allow certain requirements, which are listed at 714 and 714.1. The installation must meet all applicable codes, the homeowner can be required to indemnify the HOA from any loss or damage arising from the system and to maintain, replace or repair the roofs under the system. Section 4746 also allows the HOA to require that the installer be properly licensed and for the homeowner to keep insurance in force if the installation is on a shared roof.
