The time has come for solar photovoltaic (PV) systems to shine in strata buildings.

Solar for Strata Residents

Go here to learn about the NSW Government 50% rebate to install a Solar PV system to energise every meter in a Strata building.

ADD the 50% REBATE for a Strata Solar PV project that powers all the resident meters and you can payback the investment in 2 to 3 YEARS. 

Why work with us?

SOLAR PV on Strata buildings, is NOT the same as Residential solar PV. It requires COMMERCIAL grade solar PV hardware and COMMERCIAL expertise in the design & installation.
Solar PV energy generation in strata buildings typically requires expertise in such things as high roof access, wind-rated panel fixings and larger hardware, than used on residential solar PV projects.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 PV DESIGN & INSTALLATION company.Companies that primarily undertake residential projects are not well suited to the larger scale strata projects, that the Energy Warrior is asked to deliver.Your Energy Warrior, Tim Etheridge, is working with a long -established Solar PV company, RK Solar, to ensure he brings the BEST in the business to your property.
If you want exceptional results for your strata Solar PV project, let the Energy Warrior sort out the best quotes for your Owners Corporation to make a selection. (06 JUN 25).

Why solar is now ok for strata

The recent surge in energy costs, now hovering between 30 and 40 cents per kWh, has transformed the landscape for solar energy investments.This energy cost increase, largely driven by the ongoing 'renewables grid revolution', looks set to continue. This 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 3 to 4 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.

 HERE is a simple checklist for what makes a good Solar Photovoltaic system, in a strata building.  
If there are more ticks from 3 to 5, it’s worth a LOOK.  Share this with Owners and your Strata Manager.
