The Mililani Mauka Community Association cannot block solar PV on single-family or townhouse homes under HRS Sec. 196-7 state preemption.
Mililani Mauka has a notably strong HOA through the Mililani Mauka Community Association, which reviews exterior home changes under covenants. Hawaii state statute HRS Sec. 196-7 preempts any HOA, community association, lease, or contract provision that would prevent installation of a solar energy device on a single-family dwelling or townhouse owned by the homeowner. The Mauka association cannot charge fees for solar placement and cannot impose restrictions that cut device efficiency by more than 25 percent or raise costs by more than 15 percent. No separate Honolulu county ordinance addresses HOA solar restrictions, so Mauka homeowners rely on the state statute to override restrictive covenant interpretations.
Mauka HOA denials or fees violating HRS Sec. 196-7 are void. Homeowners may seek declaratory or injunctive relief and potential cost recovery in court.
