CA Civil Code §714 (Solar Rights Act) prohibits HOAs from unreasonably restricting solar installations. Restrictions that increase cost >10% or reduce efficiency >10% are unenforceable.
CA Solar Rights Act preempts HOA CC&Rs that ban or unreasonably restrict solar energy systems. Civil Code §714.1 allows reasonable aesthetic restrictions only if they don't significantly increase cost ($1,000 or 10%) or decrease efficiency (>10%). HOAs cannot require removal for roof repairs without offering solutions. AB 2188 streamlines residential permitting.
