In this HOA Q&A, California’s leading homeowner-side HOA attorney, Michael Kushner, addresses the question of whether an HOA can block a condominium owner from installing solar panels on the common area roof based on concerns like potential water intrusion. 

🎯 What You’ll Learn in This HOA Q&A:

✅ Whether condo owners have the right to install solar panels on a portion of the common area roof.

✅ What types of conditions HOAs are allowed to impose on condo owners who want to install solar panels.

✅ Whether your HOA can rely on “water leakage risk” to deny your solar panel installation. 

California law gives condominium owners meaningful rights when it comes to installing solar panels, even on a common area roof, and while HOAs may impose some conditions on such installations, they may not prevent homeowner from using a portion of the condominium’s roof to install solar panels.
