if an HOA allows solar, why would the panels matter? they look the same as what a company will sell them for.

the grid thing is interesting. there are devices like a grid-tie inverter no back feed that can keep your solar power from producing more than is needed. so if you're producing enough power from solar to run your home, you stop drawing power. if you produce more than is needed, you don't get the benefit of that unless you store to batteries.

I can tell you from our past week that HOAs are VERY specific about this stuff. We can only put panels on the roof on the back side of the house. -- nm - David Jul 29, 10:58 2
- oh i get that, but DIY or type i wouldn't think would matter if they allow them in any way. -- nm - colin Jul 29, 10:59 1
  - Everyone's different but we can't do DIY solar. They won't allow ground panels. -- nm - David Jul 29, 11:02
