Solar Panels Policy
The Timberline Ridge HOA ACC's policy on solar panel installation is as follows:
Solar energy panels may be installed within a Lot so long as the solar energy panel:
- meets applicable health and safety standards and requirements imposed by Washington State and local permitting authorities
- if used to heat water, is certified by the solar rating certification corporation or another nationally recognized certification agency for both the solar energy panel and for installation and
- if used to produce electricity, meets all applicable safety and performance standards established by the national electric code, the institute of electrical and electronics engineers, accredited testing laboratories, such as Underwriters Laboratories, and, where applicable, rules of the utilities and transportation commission regarding safety and reliability.
Solar energy panel frames, support brackets, or any visible piping or wiring shall be painted to coordinate with the roofing or other adjacent material. Solar energy panels may be attached to the slope of a roof facing the street only if the panel conforms to the slope of the roof and the top edge of the panel is parallel to the roof ridge. Ground-mounted solar energy panels must be shielded if shielding the panel does not prohibit economic installation of the solar energy panel or degrade the operational performance quality of the solar energy panel by more than ten percent (10%).
To receive ACC approval to install solar panels on your property, complete & submit the online form below prior to commencing any work.
Fencing
