Commercial solar context
Many shared-building projects still follow a commercial-style review path because of the coordination involved.

Industry page
Solar for strata and multifamily
Shared-roof buildings need a more careful solar conversation because the site may involve multiple decision-makers, shared electrical loads, and a mix of private and common-area considerations.
That makes strata and multifamily projects distinct from both single-family homes and straightforward commercial rooftops.
Industry detail
Why shared buildings need a different approach
A useful review should clarify who makes decisions, which loads are being targeted, and how roof access, building rules, and long-term maintenance will be handled.
Those governance and coordination questions sit beside the technical review rather than outside it, so the planning process has to account for both.
Why industry language matters
The closer the page gets to the building type, the more useful the guidance becomes.

Questions from this audience
Can solar be installed on a multifamily or strata building?
It can be considered, but the review needs to include building governance, roof control, load targets, and maintenance planning alongside the technical questions.
Are common-area loads part of the discussion?
Often, yes. Shared buildings frequently begin by looking at common-area usage and how a solar project could support it.
Who should contact you first for a strata or multifamily enquiry?
A property manager, board representative, or owner with authority to begin the review is usually the best starting contact.
Next step
Start with the building, the operating reality, and the goal
That combination gives the first review enough context to point the project in the right direction.
