The numerous benefits of solar energy are well known – lower electricity bills, reduced bill shock, and smaller carbon footprint. These benefits are especially impactful for affordable housing tenants. The SolShare offers a simple, low-cost method of extending these benefits to apartment residents.
Affordable Housing
The SolShare is the world’s only hardware solution for sharing solar to apartments. It’s connected to the apartments via the building’s main switchboard, so there’s minimal disruption to the tenants during installation. In fact, with a SolShare system, the only thing the residents will notice is significantly reduced electricity bills!
How it works
The SolShare is a distribution box that can direct solar energy to multiple apartments behind-the-meter simultaneously. It optimizes the solar delivery based on who needs the energy at any point in time, while also ensuring that every apartment receives the same amount of solar over the course of each month.
