Whilst most strata companies allow the installation of Solar Panels for the purpose of power supply, all proprietors must first submit a request to the strata council.

The following details are required.

  1. The name of the Registered Installing Company and their registered Licence number;
  2. Address and phone number of the registered business;
  3. The brand, model and kilowatt (Kw) size of the Inverter and the brand, model, size and number of solar panels that are intended to be installed on the roof.
  4. A diagram showing the external roof area and its dimensions together with the approximate location of the solar panels and their orientation in relation to which side of the roof they are to be located.
  5. The proprietor is to provide a signed and dated letter which acknowledges in writing that they will be responsible for the said installation, ongoing maintenance of the unit and fixings and any damage to the roof area as a result of the installation process or ongoing use of the roof space in regard to broken roof tiles and guttering etc.
  6. Important Note: Any failure to comply with the application process may result in the removal of unapproved solar panels at the owner’s expense and your Strata Company applying to the State Administrative Tribunal for removal of same and seeking costs relating to administrative and legal costs as a result of this.
