Power Your Common Areas
Condo solar systems typically power these common area facilities, reducing management fees.
MCST Solar Process
From MCST resolution to activation — how we handle condo solar installations.
MCST Resolution
The Management Corporation Strata Title (MCST) must pass a resolution to approve solar installation. This typically requires a simple majority at a general meeting.
Site Assessment
Our team assesses the rooftop space, structural capacity, electrical infrastructure, and shading conditions to design an optimal system.
Proposal & Financial Model
We prepare a detailed proposal including system design, costs, projected savings, and financing options. This includes payback period and ROI calculations.
EMA & SP Group Applications
We handle all regulatory paperwork including EMA registration, SP Group grid connection, and BCA approvals if required.
Installation & Commissioning
Our certified team installs the system with minimal disruption to residents. We manage testing, grid connection, and monitoring setup.
Financing Options
Choose the financial model that works best for your MCST.

Special Levy
Collect a one-time special levy from all unit owners to fund the installation. This spreads the cost across all residents.

Solar PPA
A solar company installs and owns the system. The MCST purchases electricity at a fixed rate below grid prices. No upfront cost.

- Maintenance included
