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

    Great news!

    As nerdy as this sounds … I use the “bird’s eye view” map feature on Redfin to examine listings for unobstructed southern exposure, specifically with solar in mind 🙂

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

    I agree, but houses do have ‘design’ and it is part of the value when you buy one. If builders can incorporate garages into homes, why can’t they incorporate solar panels? Shouldn’t be that difficult. Trouble is it’s something that should have happened while all the building was going on over the last few years, and didn’t. The need for them together with the resistance to them, should force the industry to sit up and take note. Someone who has paid a small fortune for their little stucco home, does not want a strange contraption spoiling the aesthetic lines of their pride and joy. Enough cultural and architectural heritage has already been destroyed, with unappealing prefabs and high rise chaos. IMO it would be a pity to add to the clutter.

    I personally think solar panels look cool on houses. When I see a house with solar panels I assume the owners are cool, and are probably geeky nerds like myself. But then again, I want to live in a Blade Runner metropolis.
