STRATA Solar PV
We are Energy Warriors
– we hunt the kilowatts
The time has come for solar photovoltaic (PV) systems to shine in strata buildings.
Energy prices are now heading to 40 cents per kWh for Strata common power. Add the attractive rebates, and you can payback the investment in UNDER 3 YEARS. Investing in solar energy is a smart long-term choice.
However, you MUST select only the highest quality, commercial-grade
components to maximise your investment.
RenewCo Solar specialise in providing top-tier
hardware and installation services, ensuring a successful solar experience for every customer.
Why RenewCo
RenewCo Solar is a family-owned business located in Lane Cove West, Sydney, led by CEO Matthew Summerville and COO Mark Summerville. RenewCo Solar’s dedicated team consists entirely of in-house staff, ensuring quality and consistency in every project—no subcontractors involved. As a leader in solar solutions for strata buildings, RenewCo Solar has successfully installed over a dozen strata systems this year alone. The time for solar PV systems to make an impact on strata properties has arrived. With rising energy costs and enticing rebates, investing in solar energy is a wise long-term decision—provided you choose high- quality, commercial-grade components and a quality solar company. To further enhance our expertise, the directors of RenewCo Solar have partnered with energy consultant Tim Etheridge, known as your Energy Warrior. Tim brings his high standards from lighting projects to your solar PV endeavours, ensuring exceptional results tailored to strata properties.
Why Is solar now ok for strata ?
The recent surge in energy costs, now hovering around 40 cents per kWh, has transformed the
landscape for solar investments.
This increase, partly driven by the ongoing 'renewables
revolution', has made Solar PV systems an increasingly attractive option for Owners
Corporations.
ADD the available rebates, the financial picture becomes even
more compelling:
• Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) for solar panels
• Battery rebates through the Peak Demand Reduction Scheme (PDRS)
These incentives, combined with rising energy prices, result in an impressive payback period of
just 2 to 3 years for most strata solar installations. Investing in solar energy not only helps
reduce your building's carbon footprint but also offers substantial long-term savings on energy
costs. It's a smart financial decision that benefits both the environment and your bottom line
batteries make sense
Incorporating a battery into your solar system is a smart choice for maximising energy efficiency. By adding a battery, you can capture and store all the energy generated by your solar panels, particularly during the sunny summer months. For instance, a 25 kWh Sungrow battery can store approximately 2,000 kWh of excess energy each month. This translates to significant savings—around $10,000 in energy costs annually— resulting in a payback period of well under two years. Investing in a battery not only enhances your energy independence but also optimises the financial benefits of your solar system.
Energy demand in a typical strata building
A typical Strata property has a morning and afternoon activity peak, with the car park, corridors and lifts all being used.
This activity is reflected in the ENERGY DEMAND.
The Afternoon peak usually extends from around 4:00Pm to 9:00PM, which is EXACTLY the SAME time period when peak energy rates apply.
This is why it makes good sense to add a Battery to a Strata solar PV installation.
If your Common power is costing 30 cents per kWh or more – AND- you have a sunny roof, it’s time to think about solar PV.
