Bill > S02997

This bill aims to amend the real property law in New York to prohibit homeowners' associations from effectively banning or unreasonably limiting the installation or use of solar power systems on residential properties. The bill defines a "solar power system" as a photovoltaic system with a capacity of up to 25 kilowatts installed on a rooftop. It prohibits homeowners' associations from adopting or enforcing any rules or regulations that would effectively prohibit or impose unreasonable limitations on such solar power systems, with some exceptions where the association owns the property. The bill also requires homeowners' associations to provide a detailed written explanation if they deny a homeowner's request to install a solar power system.
