City of Stonnington’s Sun Share subsidy supports people living in apartment buildings to reduce the upfront cost of installing shared solar PV systems that lower electricity bills by sharing solar energy fairly between apartments.
Owners Corporations (OC) of eligible apartment buildings with 5-50 occupiable lots (apartments) can receive up to $1,000 (ex. GST) per apartment.
The Owners Corporation must nominate an authorised representative or “apartment champion” to complete the application for this subsidy. This person can be either an owner-occupier or owner investor of the eligible apartment building.
To be eligible, apartment buildings, OCs and shared solar PV systems must comply with Solar Victoria’s Solar for Apartments eligibility criteria
