Is SolShare right for you?
A solar solution for apartments and multi-unit buildings
SolShare is an Australian-developed solar-sharing technology that allows electricity generated from a single rooftop solar system to be shared across multiple apartments and common areas within a building.
This makes solar energy more accessible to residents who may not have the option of installing individual rooftop solar systems.
