Energy Billing (Switzerland)
Prerequisite
You need a smart-me Professional subscription to create energy cost billings.
Configuring billing step by step
This step-by-step guide is intended to help you configure your billing. Please note that this is only an example for you to use as a guide. Depending on the structure of your property, there will be differences from our example.
Each step has its own page. You can go through them in order — the bottom of each page tells you what comes next — or jump directly from here to the step you are currently at.

Visualization
A new tile is now displayed in the default view of the folder of the billing unit (e.g. an apartment). It shows the meter readings for the virtual tariffs. Clicking this tile displays the load profile for the virtual tariffs.
How the solar power is allocated
The smart-me platform uses the production meter (PV meter) to determine the amount of electricity generated and the virtual total consumption meter to determine the amount of electricity consumed. From this, a percentage share of solar power is calculated.
Each electricity meter (tenant) is therefore entitled to the same share of solar power per 15 minutes, e.g. 40% of its consumption in kWh.
Example of solar power allocation
-
Total consumption 10kWh
-
Solar power 6kWh (60% solar / 40% grid)
-
Tenant 1 consumption 6kWh (3.6kWh solar / 2.4kWh grid)
-
Tenant 2 consumption 4kWh (2.4kWh solar / 1.6 kWh grid)
Accuracy can be improved by configuring the balance meter for the solar tariff.
