How many owners need to agree before solar can go ahead?

Depends on your state.

In New South Wales, solar projects can pass with a simple majority under the sustainability infrastructure provisions introduced in 2021, meaning the proposal fails only if more than 50% of owners vote against it. In Victoria and most other states, a special resolution requiring 75% approval is typically needed.

Your strata manager can confirm which threshold applies to your building.
