Antioch FAQ

Concord FAQ

Can my Concord HOA block solar panels?

No. California Civil Code 714 prohibits HOAs from banning residential solar. They may only impose restrictions that do not significantly increase cost or reduce efficiency.

What if my HOA delays my solar application?

HOAs must approve or deny within 45 days of a complete application. Failure to respond within 45 days is deemed approval by statute.

Can my HOA tell me where to put the panels?

Only if the alternative location does not add more than $1,000 in cost and does not reduce efficiency by more than 10%. Otherwise the restriction is void.
