What people in Sydney are saying
"Allume was a key advisor in our successful application for a grant for our Strata Rooftop. After we secured the grant we installed the rooftop Solar using an excellent subcontractor who was introduced by Allume. The residents couldn't be happier."

"This system is great. With a shared cost across our small apartment building of 9 units, the returns were obvious and immediate..."
Steps to solar sharing
1. Get a building assessment
We'll run a quick desktop assessment of your building and send you a summary of the estimated costs, potential savings and whether your building is suitable for SolShare.2. Involve your neighbours
Introduce solar and its benefits, and involve your strata manager for support. And we support with Q&A's and engagement with your strata. You'd be surprised how many people are keen!3. Get quotes from installers
We can connect you with 2-3 trusted installers who will do an on-site visit and provide detailed quotes.4. Organise funding
You may find you have enough in your capital works/sinking fund. Plus, there are government grants and rebates available and low-interest strata loans.5. Vote yes for solar
Projects of this kind often only require a 50% consensus. Talk with your strata manager to schedule an EGM/SGM early in the process.6. Enjoy cheaper, cleaner energy
Your chosen installer will connect your building to SolShare, and you'll enjoy lower energy bills and clean energy from the sun.
