The issue some likely have is that moving to be able to have solar panels isn't the answer. If you bought a home in the 80s, 90s the HOA likely didn't have any rules for or against solar panels. Selling your house and moving elsewhere is a huge burden and can also be a high cost. Having to have a political movement in your neighborhood to lower costs on electricity and protect the environment a bit at the same time shouldn't require you to allot more time and effort .
