The biggest thing that lowers home value is a HOA.

Seems to me, HOA wields their power thru litigation. Comply or be
sued. Turn it around.

If solar pwr actually will save you money, sue the HOA on the grounds
of how much money you will lose by not converting to solar power.
IOW, sue based on how much $$$ the HOA is costing you!

nb

Ridiculous suit that has no merit. When you buy a
home in a HOA community, you know and agree to
the HOA having control over certain aspects of what
you can do with your property. If you don't want that
arrangement, then you simply buy somewhere else.
If you do buy, then you are bound by the convenants
imposed and if they include control over what the
exterior looks like, then too bad, so sad, but you're
gonna lose.

Somebody (Woody Allen?) said "Ninety percent of success is just showing up!"
You, and no more than five of your neighbors can probably take over the HOA
governance at the next election.

Then, as another great worthy once said, "Payback's a bitch."
