Hi All,
HOA declined our solar roof last week and I was wondering if anyone had any experience around this? Not sure if it's worth appealing or just cancelling the order. The reason given was that the roof has to be "weathered wood" asphalt even though there's a clause for solar shingles and plenty of houses have solar panels. For reference, this is all I see regarding solar shingles in the HOA bylaws:
I'm assuming that the b, i and b, iii are what they're going off of but I guess I figured if solar panels were ok that a solar roof would be too. Any advice or previous experience would be greatly appreciated! TIA!
