I don't get why anyone would be against solar panels. Environmentally, economically, visually, practically, where is the problem?
HOA members are often retired folks who refuse to give up any type of power. They fill their free time by making up problems for others just to entertain themselves.
And they're likely being fed faux news that solar panels are unamerican communism and they should only rely on clean, god-fearing coal.
And they're using their power to crusade and stop it because they think it's "right."
Maybe they heard the Republican Congresscritter who was claiming that solar panels would draw too much energy from the sun and plunge us all into eternal darkness.
