NMSA §3-18-32

Limitation on Restrictions on Solar Collectors

Any covenant, restriction, or condition in a deed, contract, or other instrument effective after July 1, 1978 that effectively prohibits the installation or use of a solar collector is void and unenforceable. HOAs may regulate solar installations but cannot effectively prohibit them. If pre-approval requirements make installation prohibitively difficult or costly, they are void.
