what- the HOA folks are worried they'd see your PV panels instead of a shingled roof for the .4 seconds they see it at all while they're parking in thier driveways?

HOA should be requiring solar instead of banning it.

I disagree. That’s a huge cost to force on people.

I don't live in an HOA but my home's value went up $150k over the last couple years for absolutely nothing. It would be cool if a tiny portion of that increase was at least due to something like solar panels being installed.

Parking in the driveway is also banned in many HOAs.
