Residential apartments
We believe that energy should always work for the community, which is why we champion renewable solutions for apartment residents - regardless of whether you are an owner or a renter.
Pingala works in collaboration with residents and housing providers, to guide apartment communities through the process of installing solar on their site via the NSW Government’s SoAR Grant Program.
Empowering Apartment Communities with Fairer, Community-Driven Solar
What is SoAR?
The SoAR Grant Program offers to co-fund the installation of shared rooftop solar systems across eligible multi-unit dwellings. Eligible community members and strata managers may apply on behalf of a owners corporation for funding that includes the installation of solar energy systems (and storage) along with any minor works needed to be completed in order for the installation to occur (e.g. board and meter upgrades)
Funding Amount: Up to $150,000 per project for shared rooftop solar installations.
Targeted Properties: Designed for eligible apartment buildings and multi-unit dwellings across NSW.
Primary Benefit: Helps apartment residents—including renters—access affordable solar energy, lowering energy bills and reducing carbon emissions.
Applicant Eligibility: Typically applies to strata managers and owners corporations, often involving a co-contribution component.
How can Pingala help you?
Grant application support: We keep things simple and straightforward. Our team walks Strata Managers and Owners’ Corporations through every step of the Application process, ensuring your community meets all eligibility requirements without the usual headaches.
Co-funding solutions: We understand that co-contribution funding can be a stumbling block. Using our experience from community energy projects, we help secure and manage co-funding so that every apartment resident benefits, regardless of financial position.
Project management guidance: From initial planning to installation, our experts are by your side—ensuring that your project aligns with grant requirements and transforms rooftop spaces into reliable sources of energy, fit for purpose.
By working together, we can remove barriers and empower apartment communities to embrace solar power. At Pingala, our deep-rooted commitment to community and sustainability means we’re not just installing solar panels—we’re sparking a movement toward locally owned, community-first energy.
