## What do you think? Question:

![](http://www.condoassociation.com/hs-fs/hubfs/solar-panels-on-condo.jpg?width=300&height=200&name=solar-panels-on-condo.jpg)I live in a small condo complex in southeastern MA (23 units). I want to install solar panels, but the association insists that the rules and regulations prohibit any architectural changes.

I was told that the use of "green technology" supersedes the By-laws and Rules and Regulations. Is this true?
