Looking over the house and garage configuration I realized that the detached garage installation might be something the neighbors must appreciate some conversation about. Plus, our subdivision has CC&Rs* governing the type of roofing material we can use on our house. Solar panels would certainly qualify a 'roofing material'.
Some counties and states have laws which nullify subdivision restrictions. That may soon happen in Utah, but I would check with my neighbors even if there were no restrictions.
In order to moderate the CC&Rs our subdivision has an 'Architectural Committee', supposedly made up of a few neighbors with one servicing as the committee chairman. In our case, the original subdivision developer is still the 'Architectural Committee' — a common situation. (He tried to talk me into becoming the Committee! Ha ha!) So I called him and he was fine with my solar panels but asked me to canvas the neighbors and let him know their reaction.
I spoke with our most immediate neighbors and none of them offered any resistance to my solar plans though I noticed some slight concern by one. So I decided to mull it over for a few days.
