Tennessee has no solar access law, so in Williamson County's many HOA subdivisions the association can restrict or even prohibit rooftop solar. Your only statutory tool is a voluntary solar easement recorded with a neighbor.
Unlike California or many other states, Tennessee has not enacted a solar rights statute that overrides HOA covenants. In Williamson County, one of the most HOA-dense counties in the state, CC&Rs may lawfully limit panel placement, require architectural-committee approval, or ban rooftop solar outright, and those provisions are generally enforceable. Tennessee law does let a property owner negotiate and record a solar easement, a voluntary agreement protecting sunlight access, but it cannot force an unwilling HOA to allow panels. Review your CC&Rs and architectural guidelines before signing a solar contract.
Installing panels against enforceable CC&Rs can bring HOA fines, forced removal, or liens under the recorded covenants. Disputes are resolved privately or in civil court, not by any state solar mandate.
