Hi,

I live in a area which comes under strata community title. I have installed 1.5Kw solar panels on the roof facing North and this is the side facing the street. I was not aware that I had to take permission from Strata prior to installation, but as soon as I found, I have informed the Strata manager. This information was passed on to the Executive committee and they are asking me to remove the panels and move them at the back of the house which is unfortunately South facing and not of any use.

I have since informed the Strata Manager that the QLD government has got a legislation passed for community tiltles similar to mine so they cannot oppose the installation of Solar panels based on their location and that NSW will also be following soon, but fallen behind with their timings. I found an article that Warringah council in Sydney has also got similar arrangement, although I have not informed this to Strata manager as yet.

In the last EC meeting where I was unable to attend, it was apparently decided to lodge with CTTT which they have already done.

Is there something I can do to convince, so I can leave the Solar panels where they are and get the maxmum benefit.
