How about superceeding laws by the feds stating that solar pannels can not be prohibited by any HOA or local codes.

Interesting if they could get enough of the surface areas of roofs, they could in THEORY make a profit selling power back to the grid.

Now here is the question, will the local governments demand to own the solar power potential?

What about coastal areas? What happens when the county or city commisioner can't sell a vote to a condo tower developer because the 80 story condo building will block out the solar generating ability?

There is case law (OLD case law) about solar easements. This means you can't block your neighbor's sunlight.
