In many areas, Homeowners Associations (HOAs) can present significant barriers to homeowners’ ability to install solar.
In 2020, for example, Solar United Neighbors estimated that HOAs wrongly denying residents the ability to go solar had cost Virginia solar contractors more than $7 million in retail solar sales since 2014. While Virginia has since passed a law protecting homeowners who want to install solar from “burdensome homeowners association (HOA) restrictions,” in many states HOAs are still butting heads with homeowners that want to install solar.
