Texas law bars any homeowners' association from prohibiting solar panels. San Angelo HOAs may set only limited, reasonable placement conditions and cannot ban rooftop solar outright, under Texas Property Code Section 202.010.
Texas Property Code Section 202.010 makes any San Angelo HOA covenant that prohibits or restricts a solar energy device void and unenforceable. Associations may impose narrow, approved conditions - for example requiring panels to sit within or below the roofline - but only where the restriction does not reduce the device's estimated energy production by more than ten percent. An association also may not withhold approval unless the proposed placement substantially interferes with a neighbor's use and enjoyment of their property. In practice, a San Angelo homeowner cannot be blocked from installing rooftop solar by deed restrictions.
An HOA that denies or fines a compliant solar installation is enforcing a void provision. The homeowner can seek relief in court, and the association risks paying the owner's attorney's fees.
