Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this HOA Q&A, HOA attorney Michael Kushner, the pioneer in homeowner-side HOA law in California, explains why HOAs cannot block homeowners from installing solar panels on their roofs and what limits California law places on the restrictions that HOAs are allowed to impose.
🎯 What You’ll Learn in This HOA Q&A:
✅ The role that Civil Code §§ 714 and 714.1 play in protecting homeowners’ solar rights.
âś… The hard limits on HOA restrictions on solar energy.
âś… What happens if your HOA fails to act on your application within the approval deadline.
California law strictly limits HOA authority over solar installations, and any restriction that increases cost, reduces performance, or delays approval beyond statutory limits is illegal.
