Opportunity

With over 40% of people in Moreland living in medium or high-density dwellings, Council asked Australian Energy Foundation to prove that it’s possible to provide solar for apartment buildings.

Solution

Through community engagement, we sourced a building with a mix of residential and commercial owners and tenants. In partnership with Allume, we used their Solshare system to split the electricity generated between all the users in the building.

Outcome

We were able to supply solar-powered electricity to the common areas, businesses and 8 residential dwellings in the building, allowing all owners and tenants to benefit from renewable energy.
