SOLSHARE
3 phase

inverter
main switch
solar circuit breaker
minimum
150mm
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 solar circuit breaker is required on each output (ideally
located within the unit main switchboard) between the
SolShare and each unit’s main switch. This allows for the
isolation of the SolShare and the solar supply of any of the
connected units.
A typical installation conguration is displayed below. The
conguration displayed below may dier from your installation
conguration. Please refer to your Project Single Line Diagram
(SLD) for the connection and switchgear conguration for your
specic project. Guidance on this is covered in Section B.

To minimise cabling required, the SolShare should be
mounted as close to the main switchboard (tenancy
isolator board) as possible.
To allow for easy installation and maintenance ensure that
there is adequate space surrounding the SolShare and that
it is mounted at a convenient height. Please ensure the
following mounting requirements are also met when selecting
the location of the SolShare.
