Homeowners Associations and Solar Access in Ohio

HOAs in Ohio can block you from going solar

Homeowners associations (HOAs) define a neighborhood’s aesthetic rules. Many have tried to restrict the ability of homeowners to go solar. Unfortunately, Ohio does not prevent HOAs from doing so. This can make going solar more expensive and stop homeowners from going solar at all.

Has your HOA stopped you from going solar?

We want to hear from you! We are gathering stories to demonstrate that HOAs are keeping homeowners from installing solar on their own property. Sharing your story can lead to great impact.
