Together, Let's Electrify Strata North SydneyHere is a map of over 2,400 strata schemes in the North Sydney local government area covering postcodes 2060, 2061, 2062, 2089 and 2090. By clicking on the drop-pin for each strata building you can see which ones have installed solar panels, batteries, EV charging, electric heat pumps, embedded networks and electricity monitoring devices.
A short video on "What is Electrify Strata" can be found here. Join the Electrify Strata community on Whatsapp here. References from other strata committee members on product suppliers and installers helps de-risk and accelerate progress in your own strata building. Solar Potential in terms of solar system size, cost, savings and payback have already been estimated for a number of apartment blocks in this area. There are links to online solar and EV charging calculators for stratas taking the first step. North Sydney offers a number of rebates to strata buildings of up to $5,000 for retrofits such as solar, battery, shared EV charger, heat pump, insulation, rainwater tank, lighting or pool pump upgrades. More information on rebates is here. Over 335 buildings in this area have already participated in North Sydney council's Futureproofing Apartments program and received a council-funded sustainability report. |

For comparison, the take-up rate of solar panels on residential houses is approximately 37%, which is the highest take-up rate of rooftop solar globally. North Sydney based strata schemes are at approximately the same adoption rate for solar, that residential houses in Australia were at in 2009, so there is plenty of work to be done in electrifying North Sydney strata buildings.
The following are the distributions of strata buildings by "number of lots" and "registration date" within the North Sydney local government area.
