Bill Summary

Relative to the installation of solar energy systems. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.

AI Summary

This bill aims to allow owners of detached, free-standing condominium units to install solar energy systems without needing approval from their homeowners' association or management. The bill defines "solar energy system" according to the state's zoning law, and specifies that all costs associated with the installation will be borne solely by the unit owner electing to install the system. This provides more flexibility for condominium owners to adopt renewable energy technology without facing potential barriers from their homeowners' association.
