Context: I live in FL. This doesn’t personally effect me but it does others.
My HOA under state law cannot deny someone solar panels if a homeowner wants them. They can’t even deny where to put them; I have seen a couple that have them installed facing the front, not the back. This was after a FL couple sued because the HOA demanded them be installed in the back of the home and every solar company said they would useless there (Was obviously a tactic to discourage them from being installed).
My HOA also has free yearly roof pressure cleaning because the city I live in is a PITA when it comes to dirty roofs. Recently, the HOA sent us a letter saying that if you installed solar panels they will not be doing the free yearly roof cleaning on your house, if you want it done hire your own company and pay for it yourself.
Is this them just being petty due to not being able to deny solar installs or is it due to so much distrust in the company they hired to do the pressure cleaning that they are afraid of liability?
