Solar Help Desk for residents of an HOA or Condo

California law prohibits homeowners associations from either blocking residents from installing rooftop solar, or imposing unreasonable restrictions.  [1] 

Despite this law, many homeowner associations have outdated rules that prohibit or make it very difficult for homeowners to installing solar.

If you are a homeowner or solar installer, the Solar Rights Alliance may be able to help provide guidance to ease the process of installing rooftop solar on a condominium or townhome.

If you represent a homeowners association, we can help you efficiently comply with current California law regarding rooftop solar.

Please complete this brief intake form and follow the instructions to schedule a call with us to figure out next steps.
