I don't get why anyone would be against solar panels. Environmentally, economically, visually, practically, where is the problem?
They detract from a "certain look," which is what many of those nightmare-HOAs only care about. Makes their houses more valuable, so the poors can't ever afford to live there, and it feeds their busybodied lust for power over others.
Indeed, though I think that a house with solar is more valuable too, so that argument kinda falls flat.
It's just uneducated, backwards thinking is all it really is.
