The interested owner commissions an electrician to submit a request to the local network operator and plans to modify the electrical panel to replace the meters.

Climkit signs a management contract with a single self-consumption group's representative, to whom it pays for the sale of solar energy collected from residents. In the case of a condominium, the self-consumption group's representative is usually the condominium's administrator. The administrator then shares the income between the people concerned or includes it in the condominium's accounts.

There is no particular type. Self-consumption groups can be set up in buildings of any age and with any type of use (residential, industrial, commercial, adjoining cottage).

Every 15 minutes, Climkit calculates the proportion of energy produced by the PV installation and the proportion of energy drawn from the grid for the whole building and then applies this "grid energy/solar energy" ratio to the consumption of each resident. In this way, consumers can adapt their behaviour according to the amount of sunshine available, so as to consume more solar energy.

This is a grouping for own consumption under Article 17 of the Swiss Energy Act (EnA). It consists of grouping several consumers behind a single point of connection to the electricity grid in order to share the production from the photovoltaic panels installed on the roof or facade of their building.

Climkit Community distinguishes between solar energy consumption and energy from the grid for each resident, with a distinction between peak and off-peak tariffs.

The recommendation is to charge a maximum of 80% of the tariff that each resident would pay to the local electricity distributor if they were not part of a self-consumption group, in accordance with art. 16 of the Energy Ordinance (OEne).
