    Any capital costs incurred by the OC is always split according to unit entitlements. You don’t even need to do the maths. Just raise a levy for the installation costs and spli5 it the usual way.

    The proposal you have received needs to be thought through. I can see the installer just wants the money for the installation.

    If the OC pays for the installation, they own the generated solar power. The OC can sell it back to the power company but can’t sell it to lot owners ( it’s both a legal and technical thing). The solar power can be used to offset common property power usage, but generally common property power usage is highest at night when the sun don’t shine.

    If an owner pays for the installation in it’s entirety, the that lot owner can sell the solar power back to the electricity company but can’t sell it to other lots or the OC.

    Before you do anything else, engage an electrical engineer to look at your situation and make a recommendation (that  is free of the engineer trying to sell you an installation)
