This is a really common issue – HOA boards often drag their feet on solar approvals even when the panels wouldn’t look bad. I ran into a similar runaround with my board a while back. While researching how other homeowners handle communication with their HOA, I came across a community discussion board that was helpful for getting advice from folks in similar situations: http://www.senior-chatroom.com/bbw-chat-room.html. Might be worth documenting your design requests in writing and citing any state solar access laws if your state has them.
