this is the responce it got on this topic:
It appears that the PV panels are allowed to be installed on homes in Daybreak if there are approved through the two entities that have Design Review Authority (Developer/Founder and the Design Review Committee). In the case of the homes that are participating in the Salt Lake Parade of Home, those homes were reviewed and approved by the Developer/ Founder. Because of the nature of the equipment the installation is limited and the location, size, and type where factors in its approval. The following text is reference to where this topic is addressed in the Daybreak Covenants:
Exhibit “Dâ€
(d) No solar heating equipment or device is permitted outside any enclosed structure on the Unit except such devices whose installation and use is approved by the Reviewer. Notwithstanding such protection, an application for such equipment or device must be submitted for approval under Chapter 5 prior to installation and approval will be granted only if:
(i) First, such equipment or device is designed for minimal visual intrusion when installed (i.e., is located in a manner which minimizes visibility from the street or an adjacent Unit and is consistent with the Community-Wide Standard); and
(ii) Second, the equipment or device complies to the maximum extent feasible with the Design Guidelines within the confines of the applicable governmental regulations
In any event, and notwithstanding the above list of prohibited conditions, any structure, improvement, or thing proposed for construction, erection, installation, or placement on an Unit requires prior Reviewer approval in accordance with Chapter 5, unless specifically made exempt under the Design Guidelines;
Daybreak Covenants
5.2. Design Review Authority
Initially, the Founder reviews applications for proposed Improvements and determines whether they should be approved. Thereafter, the Board of Directors will appoint a Design Review Committee to review applications for proposed improvements. The Founder or the Design Review Committee is referred to as the "Reviewer." The Reviewer sets fees for reviewing applications.
(a) Founder. The Founder shall have exclusive authority to review and act upon all applications for review of proposed Improvements until the later of (i) the expiration of the Development and Sale Period, or (ii) such time as all Units planned for the property described in Exhibits "A" and "B" have been improved with dwellings for which a certificate of occupancy has been issued. The Founder may designate one or more persons to act on its behalf in reviewing any application. In reviewing and acting upon any request for approval, the Founder and its designee act solely in the Founder's interest and owe no duty to any other Person.
From time to time, the Founder may delegate any or all of its rights under this chapter to other Persons or committee, including the committee appointed pursuant to Section 5.2(b). Any such delegation shall be in writing, shall specify the scope of responsibilities delegated, and shall be subject to (i) the Founder's right to revoke such delegation at any time and reassume its prior control, and (ii) the Founder's right to veto any decision which it determines, in its discretion, to be inappropriate or inadvisable. So long as the Founder has any rights under this chapter, the jurisdiction of others shall be limited to such matters as the Founder specifically delegates.
