We regularly receive enquiries from apartment blocks and other strata title properties here at solar choice and the same questions tend to arise in our conversations with strata clients.
Solar panels for apartment blocks.
Strata blocks are one of the final frontiers for rooftop solar a ripe opportunity just waiting for the right solution.
Instead look at panels around 35 to 50 watts.
Each apartment is connected to solar.
Apartment dwellers risk being left behind in the rooftop solar boom.
So if you had a 120 panel system and 10 units each unit could get 10 panels connected into their meter and the body corporate could have 20.
With portable solar panels for apartments physical size will be the limiting factor as rooftop panels are about 3 feet wide by 5 feet tall too big for a window sill.
The residents share the savings equally through a reduced body corporate bill.
Our example system above needs 448 watt hours of electricity per day.
It is becoming increasingly cost effective for apartment blocks office towers and strata managed buildings to use a common roof area for multiple solar power systems.
Solar panel solar panels come in all sizes.
The solar will only be used by the common areas surplus will be exported.
