No, Oklahoma does not have a law prohibiting covenants or HOAs from restricting solar panels
Some solar panel installers and even attorneys are representing that Oklahoma statutes prohibit the restriction of solar panels by restrictive covenants in residential neighborhoods.

Regarding Oklahoma law prohibiting covenant restrictions on solar panels, the AI summary is completely false. It is true a bill was introduced in 2023 in the Oklahoma House that would have restricted covenants pertaining to solar panels - HB1023 - but HB1023 is still singing I’m only a bill since it failed to make it out of committee.
