Your Solar Rights Story May Be Sensitive

Solar obstruction reports can involve homes, HOAs, permit files, utility accounts, property disputes, and legal deadlines. This policy explains how SolarRightsAct.com approaches privacy and responsible information handling.

Privacy fast rule

Redact sensitive details before sending documents. Keep the report focused on obstruction, dates, rules, and written evidence.

Do not send

Passwords, Social Security numbers, bank information, medical information, or privileged attorney communications.

Most useful details

City, state, property type, who blocked the project, written objection, dates, cost impact, and production impact.

Privacy principle: Send only what is necessary. Redact sensitive details when possible. Do not send confidential legal, financial, medical, or personal information unless you have a clear reason and understand the risk.

Overview

SolarRightsAct.com is a public education project about solar access, property rights, HOA accountability, permitting fairness, utility interconnection accountability, and the right to harvest sunlight.

We respect that solar rights issues can involve personal property, private disputes, utility accounts, HOA communications, permit records, legal concerns, and sensitive documents. This site is intended to educate and document patterns, not to expose private people unnecessarily.

Information you may provide

If you contact SolarRightsAct.com or ABC Solar Incorporated about a solar obstruction issue, you may voluntarily provide information such as:

  • Your name, email address, phone number, and preferred contact method.
  • Your city, county, state, or general project location.
  • Property type, such as home, condo, business, church, school, nonprofit, farm, or other site.
  • Solar project type, such as rooftop solar, battery storage, ground mount, solar carport, or non-export system.
  • Information about HOA delay, permit obstruction, utility interconnection delay, shade conflict, or private restriction.
  • Emails, letters, screenshots, permit comments, utility notices, or other documents you choose to share.
  • Dates, timelines, application numbers, permit numbers, and other project-history details.

Information you should avoid sending

Please do not send information that is unnecessary to explain the solar obstruction issue. In particular, avoid sending:

Identity numbers Social Security numbers or government ID numbers.
Financial data Bank, credit card, payment, tax, or loan information.
Passwords Login credentials, utility passwords, or portal access.
Medical details Private health, family, disability, or medical information.
Legal privilege Attorney-client communications unless your attorney approves disclosure.
Settlements Confidential settlement communications or restricted materials.
Private third parties Unnecessary personal details about neighbors, staff, or HOA members.
Unredacted accounts Utility account numbers, bills, or customer numbers unless needed.
Important: If a document contains sensitive information, consider redacting it before sending. Keep the focus on the solar obstruction, the written objection, the rule being cited, the timeline, and the cost or production impact.

How information may be used

Information you provide may be used to:

  • Understand solar obstruction patterns.
  • Improve public education pages and sample letters.
  • Identify common HOA, permitting, utility, shade, and interconnection problems.
  • Respond to your inquiry if a response is appropriate.
  • Develop general educational examples, with identifying details removed where appropriate.
  • Support public-policy discussion about solar rights and clean-energy access.

No guarantee of confidentiality

SolarRightsAct.com is not a law firm. Contacting the site or ABC Solar Incorporated does not create an attorney-client relationship, legal privilege, confidentiality obligation equivalent to attorney-client privilege, or legal representation.

Do not send information that you would only share with your attorney. If your matter involves legal claims, fines, liens, lawsuits, deadlines, settlement talks, privileged communications, or confidential strategy, consult a qualified attorney before sharing documents with anyone else.

Public examples and redaction

SolarRightsAct.com may discuss general solar obstruction patterns in public education materials. When using examples, the site should avoid unnecessary disclosure of private personal details. Examples may be generalized, summarized, anonymized, or stripped of identifying details where appropriate.

However, if you provide information that is already public, appears in public records, is posted online, or is necessary to discuss a public policy issue, it may be treated differently. Use judgment before sharing documents.

Email and communication privacy
