Enter your current strata costs
Electricity, gas and other strata expenditure.
Total strata-cost reduction
You could be paying almost double the necessary strata costs
See whether SolarCloud could help target up to 55% of your building's electricity, gas and other approved strata costs.
- No rooftop installation
- No building works
- Real solar ownership
- Quarterly AU$ credits
Think beyond electricity
Why are you only trying to reduce the electricity bill?
Your strata doesn't just pay for electricity. It pays for the whole building.
- Electricity
- Gas
- Lifts
- Pools & pumps
- Cleaning
- Gardens
- Insurance
- Maintenance & repairs
- Building management
SolarCloud can generate AU$ credits that can be directed to the owners corporation's nominated bank account and then used toward approved strata expenditure.
So think bigger than the energy bill.
What if SolarCloud could help target 25%, 40% or even 55% of your total strata costs?
The real question
What if your strata levies didn't need to be as high as they are today?
Every dollar the building can offset through SolarCloud is a dollar the owners corporation doesn't have to find elsewhere.
Not simply
“Can we save money on electricity?”
Ask instead
“How much of our total strata budget could solar help fund?”
How it works
From solar to strata savings
02
Choose how much you want to target
Model the building's real costs and consider the proportion your committee wants to address.
03
The owners corporation owns real solar
Nothing is installed on the apartment building. SolarCloud hosts and maintains the solar remotely.
04
The solar creates AU$ credits
Credits can help reduce energy costs or be directed to the nominated bank account for approved strata expenditure.
The result? A potentially much lower ongoing strata cost base.

Automatically included in the agenda pack
Give your committee more than an opinion. Give them the numbers.
Your free building-specific proposal includes current expenditure, capacity, investment, 25-year modelling, assumptions and finance scenarios.
Put it on the agenda
Don't wait for someone else to bring this up.
If your building can materially reduce what owners are required to fund every year, the committee should at least look at the numbers. We'll prepare the formal request for you.
In NSW, an owner or person entitled to vote can submit a written request requiring a motion to be included on a general-meeting agenda. It must identify the motion and submitter and include an explanation of no more than 300 words; if the current notice has gone out, the motion goes to the subsequent meeting. NSW Legislation

See the target clearly
Imagine cutting the amount your owners corporation needs to fund from levies by around 55%.

Not just electricity. Your total strata-cost picture.
Actual outcomes depend on the building's expenditure, SolarCloud allocation, generation, applicable fees and other assumptions. Use the calculator for an indicative building-specific scenario.

Could we cut your strata costs by 55%? Let's look at your building together.
We'll look at your electricity costs, gas costs, broader strata costs, calculator result, SolarCloud required and the potential impact on levies.
No obligation. Bring your latest strata budget if you have it.
No rooftop project
Halve costs without covering the building in solar panels.
- No rooftop installation
- No roof allocation battle
- No waterproofing project
- No visual change
- No equipment on common property
The solar is remote.
The savings come back to the building.

A potential additional benefit
Lower strata costs may add value to each apartment.
The primary business case is reducing ongoing strata expenditure. If apartments become less expensive to own because strata costs are lower, there may also be a property-value benefit.
The calculator's property-value scenarios are illustrative only and are not guaranteed outcomes.
