Texas Property Code 202.010 (Solar Rights Act) prohibits HOAs in McKinney from banning solar energy devices. HOAs may regulate location and appearance only if restrictions do not reduce system output by more than 10 percent or add over 5 percent to installation cost.
TX Prop Code Section 202.010 applies to all Texas HOAs. HOAs may require panels mounted flush to the roof slope and aligned with roof lines, but cannot require ground-mounted systems or panels on rear roof only if that reduces generation. Disputes resolved through HOA board dispute process or civil court. Architectural review may impose reasonable color and frame requirements.
