Market Insights
Solar-powered apartment buildings in Green Square, Zetland, and Waterloo generate 60-80kW rooftop arrays providing 40-55% of common area electricity and 25-35% of individual unit consumption, reducing quarterly strata levies by $120-$180 per apartment.
Developments with integrated solar + battery storage (Tesla Powerwall, Sonnen batteries) achieve grid independence during peak hours, saving residents $800-$1,400/year on electricity bills while commanding 5-8% rental premiums from sustainability-focused tenants.
NSW government solar rebates and feed-in tariffs (16-20c/kWh) generate $3,000-$5,000 annual credits for 100-apartment buildings, directly reducing strata levies and increasing property values by 3-5% versus non-solar comparables in same precincts.
