SUNBEAM INNOVATIONS
The Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex is famous for its massive, highly regulated HOA communities. For homeowners looking to escape rising Oncor delivery rates by switching to solar, the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) often feels like a massive roadblock. But in Texas, you have the upper hand.
Thanks to the Texas Solar Access Law, a Dallas HOA cannot legally deny your request to install solar panels on your roof. Even if your deed restrictions were written decades ago and explicitly ban solar, state law supersedes those local bylaws. Your HOA must allow the installation, provided it meets basic safety and mounting guidelines.
Sometimes, a Dallas HOA will try to force a homeowner to place panels on a north-facing roof so they are hidden from the street. However, north-facing panels produce significantly less energy. Under Texas law, if an HOA's aesthetic demand causes your system's energy production to decrease by more than 10%, the HOA's demand is voided. You are legally allowed to place the panels where they are most efficient.
We don't expect you to argue with your HOA board. SunBeam Innovations provides a dedicated operations team that submits the stamped engineering plans, property boundary maps, and legal precedent directly to your Dallas HOA, ensuring a fast and legally compliant approval.
Our engineers will build a custom solar blueprint engineered for your operation — backed by 30-year linear warranties and Tier-1 equipment.
