Unlock rooftop solar for flats
Millions of flat residents have the roof space for solar but, until recently, no way of accessing it.
We didn’t think this was fair, and so we developed a world-first technology, SolShare, which enables the sharing of solar energy from a single rooftop solar system amongst multiple dwellings within the same building.
This breaks down the technical and ownership barriers that have historically prevented apartment residents from accessing cheaper and cleaner energy from the sun.
Optimised Solar Delivery to the Flats
SolShare monitors the energy demand of every flat in the building and delivers solar energy to where it’s needed, reducing export to the grid.
The optimised solar delivery results in the highest possible savings and biggest carbon reduction for every apartment in the building.
It also ensures that the same quantity of solar is delivered to every flat over the course of each month.
Simplicity in the Solution
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.
It’s this simplicity that has made the SolShare the go-to choice for Social Housing Providers and Property Developers.
Achieve your Sustainability Goals
The SolShare provides you with the opportunity to connect every flat in the building as well as the landlord supply to a shared rooftop solar system.
This is vital for achieving sustainability targets, including those in SAP 10 that require each flat to be connected directly to solar in order to gain the sustainability credits.
“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.”

“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.”

“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.

“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."
