In Oct 2010, I informed the strata of my intention to install pannels.
6 of 7 owners wre agreeable to me doing this (3 were also intending to install)
An application and owners agreement document (with signatures) was submitted to strata.
Strata informed me that I was to find my own lawyer and pay for the by law to be put in. The cost was high so I withdrew my application.
I have since found out last night that my friend did hers without the by law. The owners there met and informed their strata of their intention.
Can someone advice me what is the right process or thing to do.
I have spoken to the installer who tells me that no tiles or beams will be affected. The structure will be anchored to the rafters.
Thanks,
Tom

Hi Tom
Christine is correct. As the installation of the solar panels effects the common property a by-law is required. A by-law will specify that the owner is responsible for the improvements made to their lot and common property.
A general by-law can be made to allow all owners in the owners corporation to install solar panels. This is a cheaper option than an individual special privileges by-law for your lot.
If you would like some further information, then please do not hesitate to contact us.
