HOA & Solar Relations

Carolina Energy Conservation, a solar contractor serving Eastern South Carolina, installs many projects on homes managed by HOAs. Operations Manager Fred Baker emphasizes the importance of pre-installation prep and a thorough proposal; "We've found that including photos of our past work and site renderings with street views from several angles goes a long way with the HOA."

While this amount of pre-install work may seem daunting, getting in the good graces of the HOA can unlock an entire community of new leads. If you are developing a project in an HOA that is new to solar you may also consider bringing a copy of any solar access laws or easements that may apply to your location.
