Association Solar Energy Devices

In 2005, the Legislature amended the law to make it easier for individual owners to install solar energy devices on single family residences and the common elements of townhouses. In 2009, several bills that proposed to give boards of directors similar rights, for the benefit of all residents of the condominium project, stalled in committee. Act 53 (2010) provides boards with the necessary authority, and does not limit that authority to boards of townhouses and single-family projects. Instead, Act 53 covers ALL types of condominiums.
