\"AShared batteries could play a bigger role in apartment solar, with Melbourne-based Allume Energy launching SolShare 2, a new version of its solar-sharing technology that allows multi-residential buildings to combine shared rooftop solar with battery storage.<\/p>\n

How Can Apartments Get Solar Batteries?<\/h2>\n

Allume<\/a> launched the original SolShare in 2019, allowing electricity from a single rooftop solar system to be shared across multiple apartments.<\/p>\n

The company says more than 11,000 apartments worldwide now use the technology, including 6,654 in Australia.<\/p>\n

The most significant change in SolShare 2 is support for a shared battery system. Allume says this allows excess solar energy generated during the day to be stored and used later when solar production falls.<\/p>\n

The new version also increases solar-sharing capacity from 22kW to 30kW \u2014 a 36 per cent increase over the original system.<\/p>\n

“SolShare 2 has been re-designed with batteries in mind, meaning that apartment residents can now tap into battery storage in ways that were not possible previously,” said Allume Head of Operations Mio Dart.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Allume also says the updated hardware can be assembled and installed more quickly than the previous version.<\/p>\n

Batteries Add Value To Apartment Solar<\/h2>\n

For many apartment buildings, the challenge is no longer simply getting solar onto the roof. It’s getting more value from the energy those panels produce.<\/p>\n

A shared battery offers one way to do that, allowing more solar energy to be used within the building rather than exported to the grid during the day.<\/p>\n

According to Allume, SolShare 1 has delivered average annual electricity bill savings of $381 per resident. The company estimates that combining shared solar with battery storage could potentially lift average savings to around $756 per year.<\/p>\n

Those figures are based on a number of assumptions, including building energy consumption, solar generation, battery size and electricity tariffs, so actual savings are likely to vary from one installation to another.<\/p>\n

Apartment Solar Continues To Evolve<\/h2>\n

Getting solar onto strata buildings is often more complicated than installing it on a detached home. Limited roof space, strata approvals and the challenge of fairly distributing solar energy between residents are just some of the hurdles.<\/p>\n

Even so, apartment solar appears to be gaining traction. Victoria recently extended its Solar For Apartments<\/a> program, while NSW continues to back installations through its Solar For Apartment Residents<\/a> (SOAR) scheme.<\/p>\n

Allume says 91 per cent of NSW SOAR grant recipients and 75 per cent of Victorian Solar For Apartments grant recipients have installed a SolShare system.<\/p>\n

Whether shared batteries become commonplace remains to be seen, but the launch of SolShare 2 suggests attention is beginning to shift from simply installing more solar to making better use of the energy already being generated.<\/p>\n

For owners and strata committees exploring the possibilities, our guide to home batteries<\/a> is a good starting point, while our guide to apartment solar<\/a> is also worth checking out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
