I am less au fait with NSW bylaws and requirements. I’d just suggest that since you are allocating areas of common property to the individual units, that you allocate the same area for each unit, whether that unit wants its 2KW array now or not.
Would it be obvious who should get which bit of roof for practical matters such as wiring back to individual unit meters? If there is no obvious practical basis for allocation of space then drawing from a hat or something like that sounds fair. I would worry about ‘first in, best dressed’ when it comes to allocating a use of common property. I suggest you make sure it is as equitable as practical for the four units.
A motivator for all units to do it at once would be the economy of scale of having the installer on site to do all at once.
