A single SolShare unit can distribute the power generated
from a single solar system to up to 15 single-phase or 5
three-phase units (or a combination of the two).
The SolShare takes a single three-phase input from a grid-
connected solar inverter(s) and connects to each participating
unit on the load side of their retail electricity meter at the unit
main switchboard.
A Tenancy Main Switch (Inverter Supply) is required on each
output (ideally located within the unit main switchboard)
between the SolShare and each unit’s main switch. In series
with this, additional SolShare Maintenance Isolators (Grid) are
recommended to allow for the isolation of the SolShare and
the solar supply of any of the connected units.
A typical installation configuration is displayed below. The
configuration displayed below may differ from your installation
configuration. Please refer to your Project Single Line Diagram
(SLD) for the connection and switchgear configuration for
your specific project. Guidance on this is covered below
and in the supporting SolShare System and SLD Design
guidelines document that is available from Allume. It is highly
recommended that a hardcopy of the project SLD be kept
onsite at all times.
More information about labelling can be found in the SolShare
Labelling Advice document.
Warning:
The neutral for the SolShare must be wired directly to the main neutral bar inside the main switchboard,
i.e. at the MEN link.
