Is it permissible for a neighbor of the mosque to use the roof of the mosque to install solar panels and pay the mosque a fee, or to provide some lighting for the mosque? Note that the entire building is a waqf (endowment) for the mosque, not just the prayer hall.

Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings.
Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei and Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may God protect them):
The roof of the mosque has the same rulings as the mosque itself, and all the legal implications and effects of the mosque apply to it, so what you mentioned is not permissible.
May you be successful in all good.
