Affordable Solar Power for Tenants
Access clean energy while renting an apartment or commercial space.
Going Solar as a Renter
Switching to solar power is one of the best decisions you can make for your budget and for the planet. Historically, only property owners have been able to take advantage of the economic and environmental benefits associated with clean energy — until now.
New energy laws in Switzerland allow tenants to join together and adopt solar power for their homes or workplaces. Younergy is at the forefront of this movement and ready to guide you through the process.
Transforming Your Building Into a Solar Community
A self-consumption community (also known as an ZEV – “Zusammenschluss zum Eigenverbrauch”) is a building or complex that hosts a solar energy system for shared use by its tenants. Thanks to a recent change to Swiss energy laws, community members can opt into an ZEV to access the solar electricity produced on their own roof.
The Younergy team is helping tenants all over Switzerland to adopt clean energy, guiding them each step of the way. Read on to learn how we assist renters in going solar.
