Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend the real property law, in relation to the installation or use of solar power systems within a homeowners' association

AI Summary

This bill amends the New York Real Property Law to prohibit homeowners' associations from adopting or enforcing rules that effectively prohibit or unreasonably limit the installation or use of solar power systems on individual homeowners' properties. The bill defines a "solar power system" as a photovoltaic system installed on a rooftop with a capacity of up to 25 kilowatts. It allows homeowners' associations to prohibit the installation of solar power systems on common property, but any denial of a homeowner's request to install a system must be accompanied by a detailed written explanation. The bill also requires solar power systems to meet applicable local, state, and federal health, safety, and permitting standards.
