    This is fairly old news about solar panels but it is kind of cool. Basically the city will front the money for your system and you pay it back over 20 years with your property taxes. I did not thoroughly review the program but I believe the balance does stay with the property tax payment for the full 20 years even if the home conveys. I do not know if there is interest on it or not. There are two useful links at foreclosureforum.com at the home page. The first link about the city program is here.

    California is very well placed to take advantage of this plentiful natural resource on its door step. Any move in this direction is good news. I would install them without any tax incentives …if they come up with panels that blend seamlessly with one’s property. Flat roofs and pagoda’s are one means of doing this, or designing a roof made from solar type material, but so far they look such an eyesore …a kind of high-tech fungi. I’m all for it and hope enough people go for it so the industry can invest more in development.

    I asked the builder (buying a new home) if solar panel would be allowed. The rep says that it would be up to the HOA but based on her experience, HOA will usually say “NO”, citing that it would be an eyesore and a disruption of the consistency of the community’s image.

    It’s sad to see that even though everyone knows that we have a pending energy crisis, aesthetic is still valued over practicality.

    I believe that it’s illegal in California for an HOA to prohibit a solar panel.
