The building concentrates 1,105 homes into one 319-metre structure.
Australia 108 is one of Melbourne’s defining residential towers, with common amenities, lifts, pools and shared services that create persistent building-level electricity demand.

This experience is designed for landscape mode.
Australia 108 brings 1,105 homes into one vertical community. Instead of asking hundreds of residents to share a comparatively tiny roof, Sydsol turns the much larger common façade into a shared clean-energy asset.
Detached homes can put solar on a roof controlled by one owner. In a supertall residential building, hundreds of households share a comparatively tiny roof. Sydsol changes the surface available to the community: from one roof to an entire vertical envelope.
Qualified roof and façade surfaces are screened against the same energy and commercial assumptions used throughout this case study.
Grid-equivalent CO₂ is modelled using the local grid factor. Actual market-based emissions impact depends on the building’s electricity procurement and renewable-energy contracts.
See how electricity generation and equivalent energy cost change through the year as solar resource, orientation and shading shift.
Northeast and northwest surfaces dominate the modelled annual output, while the roof is a much smaller contributor. For a supertall apartment building, the important resource is not the roof above 1,105 homes — it is the vertical common property wrapped around them.
Northeast and northwest façades are the main modelled generation surfaces. The distribution reinforces the residential proposition: unlock shared vertical area rather than treating rooftop space as the only renewable-energy option.
Solar Studio reveals the energy potential hidden across an entire building envelope — not just the roof. It combines advanced 3D solar simulation with the commercial metrics asset owners need to make a decision.
We recreate the building and its urban surroundings so the analysis reflects the real geometry of the façade, roof and neighbouring skyline.
Advanced ray-tracing follows sunlight through every hour of the day and every season of the year, revealing how solar access changes across the envelope.
Nearby towers, setbacks and the building itself are captured in a detailed shading profile, separating consistently productive surfaces from those that spend too much time in shadow.
We translate the solar opportunity into generation, energy savings, carbon reduction and payback — turning a complex façade into a clear investment picture.
See where the building can generate, when that energy arrives, and which surfaces create the strongest commercial value.
These inputs define the Australia 108 case study and can be changed for a building-specific assessment.
Indicative feasibility assessment. Results support early-stage decision making and should be followed by site, structural, electrical and façade-engineering review before project development.
We can turn this model into a site-specific pilot scope — target surfaces, expected generation, integration pathway and indicative economics.
