What people in Melbourne are saying
"We recently installed a SolShare unit to our apartment block with the assistance of a Solar for Apartments Grant. Allume Energy have provided an excellent system which services the needs of owners and tenants to an exceptional standard."
"...Allume was extremely helpful and guided us at each step... Our system is now operating and each lot in our building is receiving at least 30% of their power from the system."
"I first came across Allume about five years ago... They’ve always been incredibly informative and supportive as our apartment block planned to install solar... Last year we installed a 24kW shared solar system that, thanks to Allume, is now equally shared between all 12 Lots! Couldn’t recommend them more highly!"
