FAQ
What is the California Solar Panel Law? The California Solar Mandate, sometimes called the California solar panel law, requires all new residential buildings up to three stories and new commercial properties to solar photovoltaic systems.
Federal law says anyone can get solar. The company you are working with should know this. HOA can NOT stop anyone from getting solar. Federal law supercedes HOA law, city law, county law, or state law.
Key points of the California Solar Rights Act include: First, it prohibits HOAs from banning solar energy systems outright. This means that if your HOA has a blanket "no solar panels" policy, it's likely in violation of state law. Second, the act allows HOAs to impose reasonable restrictions on solar installations.
In 2024, the California legislature passed an amendment that allowed online elections to be held within HOAs. It recognized that this could open the door to digital vote manipulation within the HOA's management, though, so the state mandated that each HOA election needed to have an independent inspector of elections.
California HOAs generally have the authority to impose certain restrictions on landscaping within their communities. These restrictions may include guidelines on plant types, height limitations, design aesthetics and maintenance standards.
What are unenforceable HOA rules? Keep you out of court. Hush up litigation. Discriminate indiscriminately. Enter your home without cause or notice. String you out on the (clothes)line. Fine you for fun. Change rules on the fly. Demand you take down your dish.
1. Limits on CC&Rs to Restrict Solar Installations – The Act prohibits CC&Rs, like those enforced by HOAs, which would unreasonably restrict the use or installation of solar energy systems. (California Civil Code Sections 714 and 714.1).

(2) Except as otherwise provided by law, a county, municipality, or other political subdivision of this state may not regulate vegetable gardens on residential properties. Any such local ordinance or regulation regulating vegetable gardens on residential properties is void and unenforceable.
Pests, diseases and weather are the top three pain points that discourage gardeners. But if you pick a plant that is suited to your area and grow it in the ideal conditions, it will thrive.
