Australia is already one of the world’s most advanced residential photovoltaic markets. However, while photovoltaic modules are now a well-established feature of single-family homes, millions of people living in apartment buildings are still unable to fully benefit from this opportunity.The challenge is not the availability of solar irradiation, but the complexity of shared residential buildings. Available rooftop space must be shared among multiple residents, decisions require agreement between property owners, and every square metre needs to be used as efficiently as possible.

It is precisely in this context that Peimar’s experience provides tangible value. When available space is limited, designing photovoltaic modules that make the most of every surface makes it possible to extend the benefits of photovoltaic energy to buildings that, until now, have presented greater installation challenges.The next phase of photovoltaic growth in Australia could therefore take place not on new areas of land, but on the rooftops that already shape the country’s cities, where a single system can help provide locally generated energy to multiple homes.
