Alabama has no state solar rights law preempting HOA restrictions on solar panels. Huntsville HOAs can restrict panel visibility, color, and placement through covenants (CC&Rs).
Unlike California, Florida, or Texas, Alabama provides no statutory protection for homeowner solar installations against HOA restrictions. CC&Rs may require architectural review committee approval, limit roof-facing orientation, or ban front-facing panels. Homeowners in Huntsville subdivisions should review CC&Rs before installation.
Contact your local code enforcement office for specific penalty information.
