lesson Angel and David Dobs discovered when their homeowners association

Neighborhood officials said the panels would look out of place and might

There is a parallel with folks under a HOA putting up Satellite Dishes
and even On-the-Air TV antennae (as well as Amateur/CB stuff.)

My understanding is that the FCC passed a special rule that said that
HOA's could NOT block communications based stuff. (Owners can; thus
renters are stuck).

Perhaps in the fullness of time, the feds will cause a similar rule in
regard to solar heat and solar electric panels.

I wouldn't get too upset, were I you.

Back in the days of Jimmy Who, lots of folks put up solar water heating
panels. Within a decade almost all of them had been bypassed and most
of them completely removed.
