Maryland Right to Solar Installation Code

Maryland prevents homeowners associations from denying homeowners the right to install solar systems. HOAs cannot impose any limitations on homeowners that would significantly increase the cost of a solar power system or significantly reduce its efficiency. Property owners also have the right to negotiate easements with their neighbors to ensure adequate sunlight reaches their system.
