Pennsylvania HB1239 regulates solar energy systems in condominiums and planned communities, allowing their installation on detached roofs and setting.

Pennsylvania HB1239 amends Title 68 to allow the installation of solar energy systems on detached roofs in condominiums and planned communities. It prohibits associations from restricting or prohibiting these systems. The bill mandates that solar energy systems meet health and safety standards, require certification for systems used to heat water, and adhere to safety and performance standards if used to produce electricity. It also requires unit owners to indemnify or reimburse the association for any loss or damage caused by the installation, maintenance, or use of the solar energy system.
