Restrictions on Use - Solar Collector Systems - Alteration

HB 4 prohibits community associations from imposing unreasonable restrictions on solar collector systems that increase installation costs by 5% or reduce energy efficiency by 10% compared to the original plan. It directly affects property owners installing rooftop or exterior solar systems and community associations managing residential developments. The bill allows associations to restrict installations in common areas with reasonable rules but requires property owners to provide documentation from certified solar specialists to challenge cost/efficiency impacts. It also permits associations to install solar systems in common areas if not otherwise prohibited by law.
