OH HB774

Prohibits homeowners, neighborhood, and civic associations from imposing unreasonable limitations on installing solar collector systems on roofs or exterior walls of improvements owned or controlled by property owners.

Defines "solar collector system" as a solar energy device designed to collect, store, and distribute solar energy for electricity generation, space heating, space cooling, or water heating.

Defines "unreasonable limitation" as any restriction that significantly increases the cost or significantly decreases the efficiency of a solar collector system.

Applies the same solar installation protections to condominium properties and unit owners associations, with the exception that condominiums may restrict installations only if there is competing use of the roof or exterior walls.

Allows property owners and unit owners to negotiate solar access easements under Ohio Revised Code section 5301.63 for protection of solar energy access.
