Georgia O.C.G.A. §44-3-220 prohibits Fulton County HOAs from prohibiting solar collectors but allows reasonable aesthetic and location restrictions.
Georgia's solar-access law (O.C.G.A. §44-3-220 et seq., effective 2009) prohibits HOA covenants from prohibiting solar panel installation. HOAs may regulate location (e.g., prefer rear-facing if it doesn't reduce output more than 10%), set color/aesthetic standards, and require ARC approval. Newer covenants must comply; older covenants are grandfathered. Atlanta does not add municipal solar-access restrictions.
HOA seeking unenforceable solar prohibition: legal action by homeowner; attorney fees recoverable under the law.
