Article 74. Generating Electricity from Renewable Sources

(1) An owner is entitled to install systems for generating energy from renewable sources for its own consumption on the building’s roof, any other suitable common surface, and in their unit, with the approval of the general meeting, provided that:
a) this does not affect the normal use of the units and common parts by other owners in the condominium;
b) the stability, safety, and architectural decor of the building are permanently ensured.

(2) If modifications to the common parts become necessary, the interested owner requests the approval of the general meeting, indicating the specific project and ways of carrying out the interventions.

(3) The association’s administrator may impose additional precautionary measures to ensure the stability, safety, or architectural decor of the building, but only based on a project executed by a specialist in the field and duly approved by the competent authorities.

(4) In case there are multiple applicants, the general meeting may distribute the use of the roof and other common surfaces, including charging fees for leasing these surfaces.

(5) Priority for the construction of photovoltaic systems and other systems for generating energy from renewable sources is given to the common needs of the condominium. In this respect, the provisions of paragraphs (1)-(4) apply only if there are available spaces that can be exploited.

(6) In the case of the lease of the roof for the installation of photovoltaic systems and other systems for generating energy from renewable sources, the lessee becomes responsible for the satisfactory technical condition of the roof and ensures its functionality according to its basic purpose throughout the lease period. If the lessee or the association terminates the lease contract, the lessee hands over the roof to the association in a functional state.
