By
Kim Wainwright
Summary
Allume Energy has launched SolShare 2, an updated version of its solar-sharing technology that enables apartment buildings to combine shared rooftop solar with battery storage. The original SolShare, launched in 2019, allows electricity from a single rooftop solar system to be distributed across multiple apartments. The technology is now used in over 11,000 apartments worldwide, including 6,654 in Australia. SolShare 2's key new feature is support for battery storage integration, addressing a major gap for apartment dwellers who previously couldn't easily access solar-plus-storage solutions.
