HoAs are how neighborhoods fund communal property like pools, parks, plowing of parking lots, etc... Where you get into trouble is when they also try to enforce "property value" guidelines, which tend to become "against whatever the most power tripping person on the council thinks is 'ugly'". Solar panels are exactly the sort of thing that can be considered "ugly" and end up being banned. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

If you want access to communal property and a communal parking sticker, you can require a membership fee. As long as it's reasonably priced I'd most likely gladly pay for access to parks and communal facilities and stuff like that. It should be optional, but for the above, I'd be likely to opt in and I'm sure most people would. But no, I would not pay for them to come and yak at me for how I should decorate my front yard and house.
