Georgia has no statewide solar access law. HOAs in Lawrenceville can fully restrict or prohibit rooftop solar panels through covenants. Review HOA CC&Rs before installing.
Unlike California, Florida, and 25+ other states with solar access laws, Georgia has no statute limiting HOA authority over solar panels. HB 389 (2015) protected solar only on common-area installations, not individual homeowner panels. Lawrenceville HOAs and architectural review committees may require roof placement away from street view, ban ground-mounted systems, or prohibit solar entirely. Outside HOAs, the city does not restrict rooftop solar beyond building/electrical permits.
HOA violation: covenant enforcement, fines, or forced removal per HOA rules. City has no role in HOA disputes.
