Bring the registry, the allotment, or the owner’s NOC. The national file list is on net-billing.
An apartment, a tenant, and a society NOC are roof-rights problems before they are wattage problems. Nobody drills a slab they do not own. A society office signs its own paper. Zarkaar does not forge an NOC and does not promise that a society will say yes. The guides already exist: apartments, tenants, shared roofs, roof title, and DHA NOC. Worked Multan roofs are DHA houses and inner Multan. This URL is the index of that decision. It is not a blank form that looks official.
No signature, no holes. A WhatsApp yes is not a title. A verbal landlord is not a title. Bring the registry, the allotment, or the owner's written NOC. The national file list sits on net-billing. Hardware, when the roof is real, follows the house rules: voltage match, 14 SWG, current N-type modules, feed-in off until the meter exists. Many of these jobs shrink to the fan product or end as a no. Zero-export is the menu when there is no file and no willing owner. We refuse a per-society URL farm. One rights page plus the existing guides is the set.
No signature means no holes in the slab
The gate is the same for a shared roof, a tenant roof, and a society roof. Someone who can sign must give a written right to use the slab. Until that paper is in hand, we do not mark holes, we do not accept a booking deposit as permission, and we do not treat a family argument as settled. Inner Multan, including crowded roofs around Mumtazabad and Shah Shams, is the worked example of a shared slab. The inner page holds that place. This page only insists the share is written. A brother who paid for the inverter does not own the slab because he paid. The registry or the allotment says who owns it.
Tenants are the clearest no. A tenant who drills a roof they do not own leaves the owner with holes and leaves us with a fight. We refuse that start even when the rent is paid and the landlord sounded friendly. Friendly is not a signature. If the owner later signs, the job can be discussed as a house, and the tenant should still understand they may not take the array when they leave unless the paper says so. We do not draft that leave-behind as a fake society form. The owner's NOC is their document. Our sheet only records that we saw it.
What paper actually counts as a signature
A chat thread is not a registry
A registry extract, an allotment letter, or a signed owner NOC counts. A screenshot of a chat does not. A society group's thumbs-up does not. A neighbour who "does this for everyone" does not. DHA approval is the society's, not ours to promise. The DHA note explains the society's own form. We will not fill a blank and send it back looking official. We will not predict a yes. If the society says no, the job ends or it shrinks to something that does not touch the shared slab. Pretending the form is "in process" while holes are drilled is the failure this page exists to stop.
Where the roof is shared, a written share comes first. Who may use which square, who pays for leakage, and who may switch the plant off are owner questions. We can refuse to start until those sentences exist. We cannot adjudicate a family. Isolation faults from wet services and crowded roofs are real, and they are read on PV isolation rather than drawn again here. Crowding is not a reason to open a live connector. It is a reason to ask whether this slab should carry modules at all. Sometimes the honest result is no plant.
DHA and inner Multan show the same gate
DHA Multan has a society process. Inner lanes have cousins, shops, and water tanks on the same concrete. The paperwork looks different and the gate does not. No written right, no holes. DHA houses remain the place page for that society. Mumtazabad and Shah Shams remain the place page for the crowded example. This rights URL does not rewrite either of them into a new wattage package, and it does not open a page per society. Ask for a Bahria form, a cantonment form, or a small-lane committee form and the answer is the same: the authority signs its own paper. We link the authority as the authority. We do not publish their blank.
Apartments add a body that is not one owner. The apartment guide is the detail. Here it is enough to say a single flat owner does not drill a shared roof because their lounge is hot. The association or the title that actually controls the slab has to sign. A corridor full of outdoor units is not spare land. Leakage above a neighbour is the dispute that arrives after a rushed install. We would rather lose the job than own that leak. If the only agreed load is a fan circuit inside the flat, look at fan solar and stop talking about a roof array. Four fans are about 300 W. They do not need a stolen slab.
When the job shrinks to fans or ends as a no
No willing owner and no file means zero-export is the only menu even worth naming, and often the job is simply a no. The no-export note is no export on the bill. Enabling feed-in to make a shared roof "pay" is refused. New Pakistani files after 9 February 2026 are net-billing under SRO 251(I)/2026 only when someone who can sign is actually filing. A tenant cannot file the owner's meter as a favour. A society that has not agreed cannot be filed around. Export is not the reason to buy, and on a disputed roof it is not available as a consolation.
If the paper is real and the night load is a house, the hardware is ordinary. Ten 645 W N-type modules, a 6 kW IP65 hybrid, and one 5.12 kWh pack at 51.2 V, on 14 SWG with XLPO, when the roof and the night match. Night air-conditioning is a second pack. The geyser stays on the grid. USE is refused. A 51.2 V wall does not go on a 24 V inverter. Four tubulars are not the hybrid bank. PVC is refused on the roof. 16 SWG is refused under a module in the 640 to 650 W class. Voltage match means the pack and the inverter are the same family. Rights do not bend electrical limits. A signed NOC is not a licence to use the wrong gauge.
We record the right, and we do not draft a counterfeit form
Handover lists what we saw: registry, allotment, or NOC, and the name of the person who signed. It does not include a forged letterhead. It does not include our promise that DHA, or any other society, will approve next week. September 2026 street bands stay on the prices page and are not a society fee. Circle fees and society fees are asked of those offices and dated. We do not invent them. The calculator rate of Rs 11 per kWh is a labelled working rate, not a benefit you earn by drilling early. Zarkaar Power is the solar desk of Zarkaar Group (Pvt.) Ltd. in Multan. The phone is 0300 0465810 and the email is info@zarkaarpower.com. Malik Muneeb Altaf is group steward only, not an installer licence, and not a society officer.
Smoke or a burning smell on a crowded roof is still an emergency, not a rights debate. Isolate if safe, leave, and call local emergency services. Do not keep a disputed plant running because the paperwork might arrive tomorrow. Generators, if a building has one, stay outdoors and must not energise a dead street. We will not draw that changeover on a rights page. The decision to drill is binary. Paper, then holes. No paper, no holes. A later wattage conversation is a reward for patience, not a substitute for the signature.
| Situation | What we need before holes | What we will not accept |
|---|---|---|
| Apartment or shared slab | The party who controls the roof, in writing | One flat owner drilling because the lounge is hot |
| Tenant | The owner's signed NOC | A verbal yes or a paid rent receipt |
| DHA or another society | That society's own form, signed by them | A blank we filled to look official |
| Inner Multan shared roof | A written share, not a family argument | Holes while cousins still disagree |
| No file and no willing owner | Often a no, or fans only | Feed-in enabled to make the roof "pay" |
The decision on the roof-rights URL is that an apartment, a tenant, and a society roof all stop at the same gate: a written right to use the slab, or no holes. Inner Multan is the crowded example and DHA is the society example. Hardware rules apply only after that paper exists. That decision would be false on a city jobs page that already assumes the owner is standing on their own roof.

Questions
Can you send the DHA form filled in?
No. The society issues its own form.
The landlord agreed verbally. Can you start?
No. We wait for the paper.
What paper is enough before anyone marks a shared slab?
A registry extract, an allotment, or a signed NOC from the person who actually controls the roof. The name on the paper has to be able to permit holes. A chat message, a voice note, or a cousin who paid for the inverter is not that paper. Inner Multan shared roofs fail this test when the family is still arguing. We wait. We do not mark the concrete to save a booking date. If the document is real, handover records that we saw it. It does not become our letterhead, and it does not let us ignore gauge, voltage, or a missing meter.
The society group on WhatsApp agreed. Can holes start while the form is printed?
No. A group message is not a title and it is not a society decision. The office that owns the form has to sign the form. We will not drill during the gap, and we will not fill a blank so the page looks official. DHA is the clearest case because people ask us to predict a yes. We will not predict it. Other societies get the same answer even when they are smaller. If they refuse, the array does not happen, or the job shrinks to something inside the flat that never touches the shared slab. Patience is cheaper than a leak into the flat below.
I am the tenant and the landlord said yes on the phone. Why is that a stop?
Because you would be drilling a roof you do not own, and a phone call disappears the day the landlord changes their mind. We refuse that start. Rent receipts do not transfer the slab. If the owner later signs a paper NOC, the job can be discussed, and the paper should also say whether the array stays when you leave. We do not invent that clause as a society form. Until the signature exists, the answer is no holes. A friendly tone on the phone is not a workaround. The owner's absence from the city is not a workaround either.
When does a shared-roof enquiry become fans, or become a no?
When nobody who controls the slab will sign, or when the only agreed load is a fan circuit inside one flat. Four fans are about 300 W. The fan page is the product for that load. It does not need a stolen roof. Zero-export is the menu name only when there is equipment at all and there is no file. Often the correct product is nothing. Enabling feed-in so a disputed roof earns bill credit is refused. A tenant cannot file the owner's meter. A society that has not agreed cannot be filed around. Export was never the reason to buy, and here it is not a consolation prize.
Once the NOC is real, do the house hardware rules still apply?
Yes. Rights do not bend electricity. A signed slab still wants voltage match, 14 SWG, current N-type modules, and feed-in left off until the meter exists. A 51.2 V wall does not go on a 24 V inverter. USE is refused. PVC is refused on the roof. 16 SWG is refused under a module in the 640 to 650 W class. An ordinary night can still be ten 645 W modules, a 6 kW IP65 hybrid, and one 5.12 kWh pack, with a second pack if night air-conditioning is real. The geyser stays on the grid. A society stamp is not permission to ignore the carton.
Will you prepare the DHA form so the society only has to stamp it?
No. The society issues its own form and signs its own decision. We do not send a filled blank that looks official, and we do not promise the stamp. Our record, after they have signed, is a note that we saw the paper and who signed it. Society fees and circle fees are asked of those offices and dated. They are not printed here. The Multan desk phone is 0300 0465810 and the email is info@zarkaarpower.com. That reaches Zarkaar Power, the solar desk of Zarkaar Group in Multan. It does not reach a society officer, and it does not make the group steward an installer licence.
