With a photovoltaic system, it makes sense to use as much solar power from the roof as possible and therefore reduce how much electricity you take from the national grid. The generation of electricity from the roof usually peaks in the middle of the day, but it also depends on the time of year and the weather conditions. More solar power can be generated on a sunny day, while on a cloudy, rainy day the amount is less. That means it’s best to use household appliances at lunchtime (approx. between 10 am and 3 pm), especially when it’s sunny.
 

Conventional photovoltaic systems switch themselves off when they’re disconnected from the grid and therefore can’t produce any more energy. That is also the case for the systems we operate. In the event of a power outage, the supply is therefore not guaranteed.

Residents do indeed often store objects in stairwells or by their front doors, such as shoes, pushchairs or toys. However, all of these items really belong inside the apartment. This is due to the safety rules set out in the Swiss fire protection regulations. Under these regulations, it has to be possible to use stairwells as emergency exits and escape routes. They consequently have be kept clear and safe and must not be used for any purposes other than to access the apartments. Please notify us using the contact form or by emailing service@livit.ch if there are items being stored in the stairwell of your property.
