Cal. Civil Code §714 (Solar Rights Act) preempts HOA and CC&R restrictions that significantly increase the cost or decrease the efficiency of a residential solar energy system. Delano CC&Rs are subject to this state law.
A restriction that adds more than $1,000 in system cost or reduces solar generation by more than 10% is presumptively invalid under §714(c). HOAs must approve solar applications within 45 days; failure to act constitutes approval. Pool solar covers are required as part of any non-single-family-detached pool design (Delano DC §20.10.330.2.a(7)).
HOA violations are private civil disputes; §714(f) authorizes attorney fees to prevailing solar-rights applicants.
