In a chat with Legit.ng, a solar expert, Chiedoziem Nwagwu, shared his opinion on what people can do when landlords refuse to let them put solar panels on their roofs.
He said:
"This situation is really more common than people expect, because landlords actually worry about roof damage. You need to approach things strategically. Talk to him, it is a temporary and non- destructive installation. You just have to use certified installers, who are professionals.
"Then, you can also have an agreement that you will restore the roof to its original condition after leaving. You take full responsibility for any damage. You can write an agreement on this, so that the landlord will be more comfortable with what you are coming for.
"Then, alternative installation options, but it is quite expensive, require that you construct a parking lot, put your panels on top of it, and then you are good to go.That is practically the best way to handle such issues."
