The land in the landed house belong to the individual owner, therefore he/she can install solar panel in his garden or on the roof of his house.
On the other hand, condo / apartment is considered as strata unit therefore any area outside the apartment unit is considered as a common area which is under the management.
Example: rooftop, corridors, staircases, lobbies, etc
Unless the management allowed the residents to use the outdoor space for placing solar panel, if not by placing solar panel inside the apartment no point because cannot receive enough sunlight and solar energy.
Condo/Apartment management are more concern with the uniformity and consistency on the outlook of the building.
Therefore any proposal by resident to install anything at the balcony (example:awning/solar panel,etc) or at other prominent common area is subjected to the management review and approval. But then again, with money, nothing is impossible
