Shared roof space and body corporate approvals make strata solar different to a standalone home — here's how it actually works.
Common Property vs Individual Lot Solar
Solar on a strata roof can be designed to offset common property usage (lifts, lighting, pool pumps) or, in some cases, feed an embedded network that credits generation to individual lots.
Getting Owners Corporation Approval
Most strata solar projects need a resolution at a general meeting. We prepare clear technical documentation and can present directly to owners corporations to support a smooth approval process.
Embedded Networks Explained
An embedded network allows a building to purchase electricity in bulk and on-sell it to residents, often at a lower rate, while solar generation is shared fairly across metered lots.
Structural and Access Considerations
Strata rooftops often have shared plant, lift overruns, and access restrictions that need to be factored into system design — something we assess during an on-site inspection.
