Homeowners associations in Arizona

Arizona law prohibits HOAs from outright banning homeowners from installing solar panels. HOAs can create some limits with regard to solar panel installations, like requiring approval by a design review board. These limitations cannot prohibit solar panels outright or effectively prohibit them by making solar too expensive or complicated to install. Courts have upheld this law.
