Florida Statute §163.04 strongly protects solar rights. HOAs in Delray Beach cannot prohibit solar panels and cannot require specific placement that reduces efficiency by more than 10 percent. HOAs may impose reasonable aesthetic rules only if they do not impair system performance.
FL §163.04(2) voids any deed restriction, covenant, or HOA bylaw that prohibits solar installation. HOAs may require architectural review for placement, but cannot force rear-only installation if it reduces output. Homeowners can file complaint with FL DBPR or sue for injunctive relief. Contact Delray Beach at (561) 243-7000 for enforcement.
HOA prohibition of solar: unenforceable, homeowner may recover attorney fees under FL §720.305.
