Yet, some landlords refused it. There have been talks about a new regulation, but currently a landlord can more or less arbitrarily deny solar panels.
My “landlord” is a company owned 100% by the city I live in, they claim to embrace solar, but in order to get the permit to install a panel I need a structural review of the balcony, which a) costs a ton of money and b) I need some documentation (blueprints/plan) from my landlord. So far that sounds kind of reasonable, buuuut they refuse to give out any information about their buildings, so even if I would pay someone to prove the balcony won’t collapse, this guy can’t finish the report without knowing what the wall is made of.
So effectively, they managed to pull ye olde Kafka not-really-denial.
typical hehe
governments are often more strict in rules than normal people, and those rules often prevent other rules from being enforced hehe
it shouldnt be though, they should set the bar with their own buildings :)

If you are talking about Germany, that is no longer true - landlords can not deny installations without sound reason:

The surrounding laws were updated July this year, so it is a recent change.
