Louisiana Revised Statutes 9:1149.4 prohibits homeowners associations from completely banning solar collectors. HOAs may impose reasonable aesthetic restrictions on placement and appearance, but cannot effectively prevent solar installation. This applies statewide regardless of city or parish rules.
Under La. R.S. 9:1149.4, restrictive covenants and HOA rules cannot prohibit installation of solar collectors on property a homeowner owns. HOAs retain authority to require reasonable architectural review, regulate location for aesthetic reasons, and require professional installation, but rules cannot increase installation cost by more than 5 percent or decrease system performance by more than 10 percent. Grandfathered restrictions in older subdivisions may apply differently. The statute aligns Louisiana with most southern states protecting homeowner solar rights, and applies uniformly regardless of municipal regulations.
HOA noncompliance: homeowner can seek declaratory judgment, attorneys fees recovery, and injunction against unreasonable restrictions.
