Thanks kiwipaul. While it’s very hard to get any information out of them—the Chairman and the Strata Manager who appear to be the drivers and only keen ones—it seems individual owners who want solar panels will pay themselves but it’s unclear who will pay for the infrastructure and costs of getting by-laws etc. When asked what costs there will be to the wider Owners Corporation they cock their heads, metaphorically speaking, and act like you’ve asked them a rude question.
And we are 36 units. Three levels with 12 units on each level, so roof space above 12 units. So in the unlikely event that everyone wanted to get solar power, there isn’t enough space.
I have been told the power will go into the grid which contradicts what’s said in their promotional flyer, if you take it literally and why wouldn’t you. (“… you could power your unit during sunlight hours for the next 25 years or more… ” A verbatim quote.)
