what- the HOA folks are worried they'd see your PV panels instead of a shingled roof for the .4 seconds they see it at all while they're parking in thier driveways?

HOA should be requiring solar instead of banning it.

I disagree. That’s a huge cost to force on people.

I don't live in an HOA but my home's value went up $150k over the last couple years for absolutely nothing. It would be cool if a tiny portion of that increase was at least due to something like solar panels being installed.

No one is forcing you to buy a home in an HOA that requires solar.

Could easily be in an HOA that adds the requirement though.

I do have sympathy for people that vote NO on large capital expense assessments because its expensive for them and then have to come up with the money anyways.

I love how you used the entire argument against HOAs to argue against HOAs, yet still got downvoted.

I appreciated the irony.
