There was nothing like that in Hermosa. Parking was our biggest problem. I assume that the new condos may have some rules like that.
Our lots were mostly 25'x100' so we did have to play well together in order to get along. Anytime someone was going to change the color of the house they would just show the color sample to those around us that might be affected by it. No one ever had a problem.
We only have 15 panels and that's more than enough at the moment. We may add some more to get better sky coverage in the future, though. We paid 80 cents a watt for 220w panels. At that rate, 100 panels would be less than $18,000. I don't know what other equipment is needed for a grid-tied system. CA's labor costs are probably higher also.
