Arizona law strongly protects rooftop solar. Under A.R.S. 33-1816 an HOA cannot prohibit solar devices, and A.R.S. 33-439 voids any CC&R that effectively bans them. Associations may set only reasonable rules.
Arizona is one of the most solar-protective states, so Mohave County homeowners in planned communities keep the upper hand. A.R.S. 33-1816 bars a community association from prohibiting the installation or use of a solar energy device, and A.R.S. 33-439 makes any deed covenant or CC&R that effectively prohibits solar void and unenforceable. An HOA may impose reasonable placement or screening rules, but not conditions that meaningfully raise cost or cut efficiency. This is far stronger protection than in Georgia, Tennessee, or Arkansas, where comparable solar-rights statutes are weaker or absent. Ground-mounted systems can face more scrutiny than roof panels.
An HOA that unlawfully blocks solar is enforcing a void restriction and may owe the homeowner's legal costs. Homeowners ignoring reasonable, lawful aesthetic rules can still face standard HOA fines.
