Purpose
Owners corporations can apply for a Solar for Apartment Residents grant to fund up to 50% of the cost of a shared solar photovoltaic (PV) system on eligible apartment buildings and other multi-unit dwellings in NSW.
Overview
Less than 2% of apartment buildings in NSW currently have solar systems installed. As energy costs climb and the number of people living in apartments continue to increase, innovative solutions are needed to allow apartment owners and renters to benefit from solar energy.
This will help residents, including renters, to reduce their energy bills and greenhouse gas emissions.
A total of $25 million in grant funding is available, with up to $150,000 per project.
Limitations
Only owners corporations or strata managers can apply for the grant.
To be eligible to apply for the grant you must be either:
- a residential owners corporation responsible for the management of a strata scheme under theStrata Schemes Management Act 2015
- a strata managing agent as outlined in theStrata Schemes Management Act 2015, if authorised to do so by the owners corporation.
Individual apartment residents are not able to apply for the grant. Apartment residents should share this page with their owners corporation or strata manager and encourage them to apply.
