Can we install private solar panels on a VvE roof?

Questioner

I live in a homeowners' association with a beautiful sloping roof 30% facing south-east A question has been asked about the private installation of solar panels. In the past, 2017, this was not done for this VvE in general, due to the low yield. What should private individuals and this VvE pay attention to?

Lawyer

Dear, The VvE will not simply give permission to install solar panels. The VvE regularly refuses this permission or sets strict conditions for installing solar panels. This is because damage to the roof and the risk of leaks can occur when installing solar panels. There are various matters that must be properly arranged by means of a contract, also called a user agreement with the VvE, when installing solar panels. You can contact me without obligation so that I can advise you further on this.
