Solar panels for apartment blocks.

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. But some projects are showing how apartments can join the transition to a distributed renewable energy future. Londoners are installing solar panels on their apartment blocks sustainable energy from vast offshore wind farms to huge solar parks the planet is home to some huge renewable energy facilities. Our example system above needs 448 watt hours of electricity per day.

Each apartment is connected to solar. 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. Apartment buildings often have large common roof areas that are well suited to solar power. The residents share the savings equally through a reduced body corporate bill.

Apartment dwellers risk being left behind in the rooftop solar boom. 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. Strata blocks are one of the final frontiers for rooftop solar a ripe opportunity just waiting for the right solution.
