Apartment dwellers have long been left out of the solar energy loop.

With the only options for rooftop solar requiring a private system wired through to each dwelling and body corporates holding fast to shared space, low-rise tenants and owners have had no efficient way to take advantage of the sun – until now.

Cameron Knox is CEO and co-founder at Allume Energy. He worked to invent, design and build a solution that improves equal access to renewable energy for apartment dwellers, developing a technology that remains the only one of its kind in the world.

“SolShare is a world-first, Australian-owned, designed and made technology that connects a single rooftop solar system to multiple apartments,” he says.

“Electricity is piped down from the roof into our smart hardware, which splits the energy according to demand in the building at the time.

“In short, we are successfully breaking down technical and ownership barriers that have historically prevented apartment residents from accessing cheaper, cleaner energy from the sun.”
