San Angelo, TX Solar Energy: HOA Restrictions (2026)

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.
