Georgia has NO state solar access law preempting HOAs. Homeowners associations in Suwanee may restrict or prohibit solar panels on homes within covenant-controlled communities.
Unlike Florida (FL 163.04), California (Solar Rights Act), and 28+ other states, Georgia has no state statute preempting HOA restrictions on residential solar. HOAs may impose design review, location restrictions, panel color/type limits, or outright bans through recorded covenants. Homeowners in HOA communities should review declaration of covenants before installing solar. Non-HOA homes are subject only to Suwanee zoning and building permits for solar installation.
HOA covenant violations: fines per HOA schedule, forced removal via civil action, liens possible.
