Never have any of our clients been denied solar by a Home Owners' Association or any CC&R regulation. This is because state law protects your rights to implement solar energy on your property. Below you will find the statute itself.

Even though no one can "effectively prohibit" you from utilizing solar energy, it is still desirable to work within the Home Owners' Associations' application process. After you've decided to get a solar electric system, simply supply us with the application and contact person, and we will take care of the rest.
