MO HB231

Homeowners' associations, common interest community associations, and condominium associations are prohibited from adopting bylaws that ban or effectively prohibit solar energy system installation

Deed restrictions, covenants, and similar binding agreements cannot prohibit solar energy systems on buildings within these associations, though associations may determine roof placement location (south-facing or within 45 degrees of due south) as long as it doesn't impair system operation

Associations must adopt an energy policy statement addressing solar system location, design, and architectural requirements within 120 days of receiving a member's request or application

Applications for solar energy system installation must be processed within 90 days of submission; non-public entities that willfully violate the law are liable for actual and consequential damages

The law does not apply to buildings greater than 30 feet in height, and all solar systems must meet state and local permitting standards
