Georgia has no solar rights law preempting HOA restrictions. DeKalb HOAs may prohibit or restrict solar panels through CC&Rs. Georgia is one of a minority of states without solar access protection for homeowners.
Georgia does not have a solar access/solar rights law comparable to Florida, California, or Texas. DeKalb County HOAs retain broad authority under CC&Rs to restrict or prohibit solar panel installations. This affects many DeKalb subdivisions including Dunwoody, Stone Mountain, and Brookhaven area HOAs. Homeowners should review CC&Rs before installing panels and submit architectural review applications where required. Some HOAs permit panels on rear-facing roof slopes only or require screening. Legislative efforts to pass a Georgia solar access law have not succeeded. Condo associations under the Georgia Condominium Act (OCGA §44-3-70+) have similar authority. If an HOA improperly withholds approval, homeowners generally have contract-based remedies only.
HOA fines per CC&Rs for unauthorized installation: typically $25-$200 per day until removed or compliant. Homeowners have limited statutory recourse given absence of Georgia solar rights law.
