The transition to renewable energy continues to accelerate. Both states and individuals are trying to obtain their electricity needs from clean energy sources. In this context, a residential block in Wales broke new ground in the world by connecting all flats to the same roof panels. While all apartments are equipped with a single solar energy system, the new SolShare system developed can create a green energy revolution in buildings.

The entire building is connected to a single solar panel system

Traditional roof solar panel systems require separate installation for each flat. This means extra costs both for the building and for the individual. The SolShare model, developed by Australian manufacturer Allume Energy, connects all apartments in the building to a single roof solar panel and saves additional installation costs.

The SolShare system is at a level that can meet 75 percent of the electricity needs of each flat (24 flats). According to tests and calculations, with SolShare, each apartment can save 50 percent on its annual electricity bill, or between 438 and 595 euros.

Welsh Minister for Climate Change, Julie James, underlines the importance of the system, saying, “At a time when costs are rising, improving the energy efficiency of homes will not only help us tackle the climate crisis, but will also assist in the cost of living crisis facing families.”

In addition to saving on hardware, the company says SolShare has increased solar energy use by more than 25 percent. The new system can be used in both new construction and existing buildings, as it does not require any changes to the existing supply and measurement infrastructure.
