SolShare: Solar for Apartments & Multi-Unit Buildings

Alume’s SolShare is an Australian-developed technology that enables apartment buildings to also take advantage of daily solar generation.

Using SolShare’s smart hardware, they offer apartment building residents to be powered by solar energy by distributing solar energy in a fair and balanced way so that every residence gets access to a single rooftop solar system.

These units can be paired with any solar system and is designed to be installed for apartments and multi-residential dwellings, which otherwise would be missing out on solar power.

How Does SolShare for Apartments Work?

As the apartment’s solar system is generating power, it is then fed to SolShare’s proprietary unit, which splits the solar and distributes it according to the demand of the building, maximising solar generation and minimising solar feed-in to the grid.

In addition to their hardware, SolShare also offer dynamic distribution software algorithms that is responsible for sending the solar energy at the right time in a balanced way like equal distribution, or specific allocations to various apartment sizes and public spaces.

SolShare is primarily designed and used to supply multi-unit and apartment buildings by rooftop solar systems and grid-connected inverters.

SolShare Solar Monitoring

Clients can access how much electricity they’re using and how much has been allocated. Customers can also access solar feed-in exports and maximising solar production and providing insight into the best times to consume energy to maximise the value of your solar.

SolShare controls the division of alternating current (AC) from a single load like a solar inverter and distributes it to multiple loads. To track solar energy fairly between connected apartments, SolShare is placed downstream of this AC power source, and every 200 milliseconds it analyses the demand of each connected unit and determines delivery.


Supports Apartment Buildings from 5 to 60 units.


Reduction in Consumption from Grid Electricity.

Accessible Production & Consumption Monitoring Software.

Industry Leading Commissioning App for Expedited Installation Processes.

Solar Rebates & Subsidies for Apartment & Multi-Unit Buildings

In addition to the most well-known solar subsidy, the small-scale renewable energy scheme, the NSW and Australian Federal Government have also funded $25 million to provide 50% of the cost to install solar photovoltaic systems on eligible apartment and multi-unit buildings.

Ending on December 1st or when the funds are depleted, apartment owners and management can claim up to $150,000 per project.
