Texas Property Code 202.010 prohibits HOAs in Euless from banning rooftop solar; associations may impose reasonable placement conditions but cannot make installation economically impractical.
HOA authority over solar panels in Euless is governed by Texas Property Code Section 202.010, which applies statewide. The statute prohibits homeowners associations from enforcing any covenant that bans the installation of solar energy devices on a property owner lot. An HOA may adopt reasonable rules regarding placement, provided those rules do not block installation on the side of the roof with the most solar access, reduce estimated energy production by more than 10 percent, or prevent a cost-effective installation. HOAs may require that panels be parallel with the roof plane, conform to the roof slope, and be no higher than the ridge line. Ground-mount systems in an HOA can be subject to additional screening rules if the arrays are visible from the street or neighboring properties. Approvals by architectural control committees cannot be arbitrary; the HOA must act within a reasonable time and cannot demand fees designed to discourage solar. Related rules in Texas Property Code Section 202.011 protect reflective roofing materials that improve energy efficiency. Owners denied approval can pursue enforcement under Property Code Chapter 202.
