Panel roof solar pilot

Share common-roof PV across a prefab block

Panel estates often have large flat roofs owned collectively, ideal for a mini solar cooperative that feeds common areas or sells power back to residents. Pair a roof lease vote at the közgyűlés with household storage grants: common PV on top, individual batteries in flats below.

What you can do

• Assembly leaders: add a roof-solar agenda item alongside insulation, same contractor visit, two quotes
• Legal-savvy neighbours: draft a simple revenue split (elevator, lighting, heat-pump preheat)
• Early adopters: apply for home storage once the shared array is approved, programmes favour households already on solar

How it works

Hungarian társasház law requires owner consent for structural roof works. Start with a feasibility study (shading, grid connection, DSO rules), then piggyback on Panelprogram-era insulation contractors who already know the building.

Why it matters

One roof can power dozens of homes, the cooperative model keeps profits in the stairwell, not on a billboard.
