Utah Solar Access Act (Utah Code 57-8a-801) prevents HOAs from prohibiting solar panels but allows reasonable aesthetic restrictions on placement.
Under Utah Code 57-8a-801, HOAs in Sandy cannot prohibit homeowners from installing solar energy systems but may impose reasonable restrictions that do not significantly increase cost (over 5%) or decrease efficiency (over 10%). HOAs may require panels on rear or side-facing roofs when feasible, specify panel color (typically black frames), and require screening for ground-mounted systems. Disputes go to civil court or arbitration.
