HB 5613 Connecticut House · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT CONCERNING THE INSTALLATION OF SOLAR POWER GENERATING SYSTEMS IN COMMON INTEREST OWNERSHIP COMMUNITIES.

HB 5613 prohibits common interest ownership communities (like condominiums or homeowners associations) from banning the installation of solar power systems on the roof of an individual owner's unit. This bill directly affects residential property owners in these communities by removing their association's authority to restrict rooftop solar installations. The key provision amends state law to ensure community rules cannot prevent such installations, focusing solely on roof-mounted systems. The bill does not address installation costs, technical requirements, or community-wide solar projects.
