How it works
Simple for everyone involved.
Spritz takes care of the complexity. Owners, residents and the committee are left with three simple things to understand.
01
Your building owns the system
We design a system to suit your building and an accredited partner installs it. Spritz covers the upfront cost, so no additional strata levy is raised.
02
Residents use it and save
Residents opt in and pay on average 30% less than the grid rate. Spritz measures each unit's use, bills it, and collects the payment.
03
The energy generated funds the cost
Collections cover the Spritz management fee, with the remainder repaying the system. Once repaid, that remainder flows to the Owners Corporation instead.
One system, metered per unit
A single shared solar system on the roof. Each apartment keeps its own grid connection and is billed only for the solar it actually uses.
The problem
Why apartment solar usually stalls.
Traditional solar asks every owner to pay for the system, even though not every owner receives the energy savings.
Traditional solar
Every owner funds it through a special levy.
Landlords pay for an upgrade whose energy savings go to their tenant.
Owners who see no direct return have every reason to vote against it.
The proposal stalls at the meeting, and the roof stays empty.
With Spritz
No additional levy is raised at all.
Every owner gets the building upgrade, whether they live there or lease it out.
The residents who use the solar are the ones who pay for it, at less than grid rates.
The proposal passes, and the building owns solar from day one.
The Spritz difference
Nobody pays a levy. Everyone benefits.
Government rebates
A large part of the cost is already funded.
State governments are paying for apartment solar right now. Rebates come directly off the amount your building has to repay.

The agreement
Clear terms, built-in protections.
What the Owners Corporation signs up to, and the safeguards in place if things go differently.
The terms
Standard agreement
Our standard term, and it can be set to suit your building. Both sides commit for the full period, which is what allows Spritz to fund the system upfront.
10 yrs
Management fee
One monthly fee for metering, billing, collection and ongoing management. It is set on the number of units and system size, and agreed in writing before you vote.
Fixed
Repay only what was funded
The Owners Corporation only repays what Spritz funded. No interest is charged, so the obligation never grows.
0% interest
If things go differently
If fewer residents connect
More solar is available to the residents who do take part. If fewer collections come in, repayment simply takes place over a longer period. There is no penalty and nothing extra to pay.
Flexible repayment
If an amount is still outstanding
At the end of the term the Owners Corporation can pay the remaining amount, or enter a new agreement and keep the arrangement running.
Your choice
If the system stops generating
Spritz is responsible for maintaining the system for the full term. No fees are charged for downtime, so Spritz only earns when your building does.
No fees
If Spritz can no longer manage it
The system is owned by the Owners Corporation, not by Spritz, so it stays on the roof and keeps generating.

Commercial strata
The same model, a different building.
Commercial Owners Corporations face the same levy problem. What changes is how the building uses energy.
Daytime load is an advantage
Commercial occupiers use power when the sun is up. More of what the roof produces gets used on site, which means more solar payments available to fund the system.
Assessed case by case
Every commercial building has a different load profile, tariff structure and roof. We assess each one individually to design the system set-up that works best for your building.
Demand charges change the design
Where a building is on a demand tariff, battery storage is worth modelling alongside solar. We assess both together rather than assuming solar alone.

Something else on your mind?
We're happy to talk through your building's situation. No obligation.
Our standard agreement runs for 10 years, though this depends on system size and project specifics.
The system is owned by the Owners Corporation throughout the agreement period and remains so afterwards. If the system is fully paid for, a new agreement can be entered into so Spritz can continue to manage metering, billing and maintenance for fair use amongst residents. If a system balance remains outstanding, the Owners Corporation can choose to pay the outstanding amount or enter into another agreement with Spritz.
If the system balance is repaid during the agreement term, often because the building generated and used more solar than expected, surplus funds are returned to the Owners Corporation. Retained funds are usable for common property expenses like maintenance and gardening.
Non-participating units continue to receive power from the grid as normal — nothing changes. Participation is entirely voluntary and independent of any tenancy agreement. There is full flexibility to opt in or out of purchasing the energy generated.
It depends on your state. Most states require a 75% special resolution; New South Wales needs only a 50% simple majority. Spritz provides a full information pack for the meeting.
No. Installation work is carried out in common property areas — no access to individual units is required. Most installations take 2–4 days depending on system size, with a short power outage of typically 1–3 hours scheduled to minimise disruption.
Yes — Victoria's Solar for Apartments rebate is worth up to $2,800 per apartment, expiring 20 June 2027 or once funds are exhausted. In New South Wales, the Solar for Apartment Residents program covers 50% of system cost up to $150,000. We confirm eligibility as part of every free assessment.
Yes. Our systems are designed to include battery storage where it suits the building, and we advise on it as part of the assessment. Where a building is likely to have significant unused solar, we generally recommend including a battery to make more of what the roof produces.
