We’ve created the SolShare, the world’s only hardware for connecting rooftop solar to apartments.
We believe everyone should have the power to reduce their electricity bill and carbon footprint. With the SolShare, that’s possible.
The SolShare is the world’s only hardware
that can connect multiple apartments to a
shared rooftop solar system.
This proven technology enables a
single rooftop solar system to be optimally
shared by everyone in the building.
Optimised Solar Delivery to the Apartments
The SolShare monitors the energy demand of every apartment in the building and automatically delivers the solar energy to where it’s going to be used.
By delivering the solar to the apartments that are using energy at that specific moment in time, the solar energy is consumed within the building rather than being exported to the grid.
The optimised solar delivery results in the highest possible savings and biggest carbon reduction for every apartment in the building. The SolShare also makes sure everything is fair, by making sure that the same quantity of solar is delivered to every apartment over the course of each month.
Simplicity in the Solution
The beauty of the SolShare is that it’s simple.
The SolShare is installed alongside traditional electricity metering infrastructure at the apartment building’s main switchboard. Apartment access is not required and residents can still choose whichever retailer they like for their grid energy. There’s no requirement for residents to sign up to anything or trade solar via blockchain or anything complicated like that.
Put simply, the residents won’t even notice that a SolShare system’s been installed – apart from when they see their significantly reduced electricity bill!
It’s this simplicity that has made the SolShare the go-to choice for Social Housing Providers and Property Developers.
Achieve your Sustainability Goals
For too long, the only solution to apartment solar was to connect it to the landlord supply. This often results in the solar being wasted, as the excess can’t be used by the apartments and is simply exported to the grid.
The SolShare provides you with the opportunity to connect every apartment in the building as well as the landlord supply to a shared rooftop solar system.
This is vital for achieving sustainability targets. As each apartment is connected directly to solar the entire building gains a greater sustainability rating.

“One Step Off The Grid has followed Allume’s progress with its SolShare technology with great interest, as it works to break through the solar ceiling for those consumers traditionally “locked out” of the rooftop solar market, including renters and apartment dwellers.”
- One Step Off The Grid
“As the world’s first behind-the-meter solar sharing technology, SolShare is used to knocking it out of the ballpark, but becoming the first Power Division Control System (PDCS) to be UL certified is a game-changer.”
- PV magazine
“The SolShare is the most efficient system to maximise the use of energygenerated at any given time. It achieves this by supplying energy to where it is needed most, instead of sending it back to the grid.”

“Previously we have been limited in the use of solar in multi-occupant buildings such as apartments or offices due to limited roof space, but Allume’s technology allows everyone to use affordable solar power,” said Stuart Penklis, Mirvac's head of residential.
- Australian Financial Review
“People in the past have looked at the tech and tried to crack this and not really been able to,” Mr Lucas said. “We are particularly interested in Allume’s solution. It’s a segment of our customer base that hasn’t traditionally been able to access solar because of the way it’s metered and shared and this goes a long way to solving that physical element."
- The Australian
“Allume sees a huge opportunity for improvement in Australia’s low-income housing space, with state and territory government as well as not-for-profits providing homes for roughly 800,000 people around the country. Putting solar on all of these dwellings – detached, semi-detached and multi-unit – would not only level the playing field for people already at a disadvantage to home owners, but would add another 1,600MW to Australia’s rooftop solar capacity."
