\"Allume<\/p>\n

A Melbourne company providing solar power access to Australians previously missing out was among the winners of this year’s Victorian Premier\u2019s Sustainability Awards.<\/p>\n

Now in its 19th year, the Awards recognise Victorians leading the transition to a more sustainable economy. The winners<\/a> of this year’s Awards included Allume Energy, which is focused on making solar power accessible to some of the many Australians the solar energy revolution has bypassed – specifically, apartment residents.<\/p>\n

The potential market is significant, with more than 2 million Australians living in low-rise apartment buildings.<\/p>\n

Solar Tech Magic – SolShare<\/h2>\n

SolShare is the world’s first behind-the-meter solar sharing system. It enables the output of a single rooftop solar system to be optimally shared between separately metered apartments or units – and residents can stick with their current electricity retailer.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

Even if a neighbour is an energy hog, SolShare ensures connected units benefit from same amount of solar energy. It monitors the demand of each connection, and every 200 milliseconds determines optimal delivery to maximise on-site solar electricity consumption.<\/p>\n

“Being able to tailor the solar delivery 5 times a second results in up to 55% more solar being consumed on site when compared to if each apartment had their own individual solar system,” says Allume Energy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A single SolShare unit can service up to 15 separately metered apartments or units, and can also be coupled with battery storage<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Officially launched last year and manufactured locally in Melbourne, SolShare is already in use by more than a thousand apartments in Australia. As for pricing, Allume Energy says a complete SolShare system works out to cost from $2,000 per apartment.<\/p>\n

Back in September, SolarQuotes caught up with Cameron Knox from Allume Energy, who provided a brief overview of the company1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n
