Overview
This bill protects homeowners in common interest communities, like condominiums and townhouses, from restrictions on installing solar panels. It clarifies that associations cannot prohibit solar panel installation on single-family homes or townhouse roofs, unless specific regulations related to installation and maintenance are in place. The bill also limits an association’s ability to impose rules that significantly increase costs or hinder the panels’ efficiency. Finally, it establishes a process for enforcement by the state’s Community Affairs Department.
