What is SolarCloud? Plain English, two minutes.
Why "cloud-based"?
You stream movies without owning a cinema. You store photos without owning a server. SolarCloud applies the same idea to solar: the panels are real and you own them - they just don't need to be on your roof. Your ownership is tied to you, not your address, so it moves when you move.
Who it's for
Renters (1 in 3 Australians), apartment dwellers, homes with shaded or unsuitable roofs - and anyone who wants to own solar without the $10,000+ battery-and-install path.
How it compares
| Rooftop solar | Home battery | SolarCloud | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost | $5k-$15k | $10k+ | From $129, one-off |
| Needs a roof you own | Yes | Yes | No |
| Installation | Yes | Yes | None |
| Moves with you | No | No | Yes |
| Regulation | Product warranty | Product warranty | ASIC-regulated scheme |
The two current offers
Both are one-off purchases - SolarCloud is not a subscription and has no ongoing fees.
Is SolarCloud legitimate?
Yes - and you should check. SolarCloud is an ASIC-regulated investment product (ARSN 612 098 110, AFSL via LLA Equities). Your money sits within a regulated scheme, not our operating account. Verify the ARSN on ASIC's register.
Not the app called iSolarCloud
Looking for iSolarCloud, the monitoring app for Sungrow inverters? That's a different product entirely - it monitors rooftop hardware. SolarCloud (this site) is cloud-based solar ownership for people who don't have, or don't want, panels on their roof.
