Basic situation is this -- My HOA outright rejected my application for Tesla solar install stating solar panels cannot be installed in the front area of the house. PS: Front of the house is inside a cul-de-sac, not the main road. Unfortunately, the only roof that does not face any public areas is steep North facing roof with very little sun, so relocating the panels is not an option.
I read the HOAs bylaws and there is nothing specific to solar installation. I also believe NC law 22B-20 prohibits HOAs from doing that, with certain exceptions (which includes public facing areas). But if there is no specific bylaws enacted by the HOA, can they still legally reject my application or will that be illegal under 22B-20?
Anyone in NC experienced with HOA denials and fighting them? Or is it not worth it?
Thanks
