ZEV & vZEV billing
in minutes

Automate the entire electricity billing for your self-consumption association (ZEV/vZEV) — legally compliant, error‑free and ideal for landlords in Switzerland.

Create ZEV and vZEV electricity bills automatically

SchäferStrom takes care of your entire ZEV and vZEV billing: you enter the meter readings, and SchäferStrom applies the tariffs, calculates the fees and generates the Swiss QR payment section automatically — precise and fully traceable.

  1. Enter the readings, we do the rest. Add your meter readings and SchäferStrom applies the tariffs, works out the costs and generates the bill automatically.

  2. Built for Swiss ZEV rules. Solar and grid power are billed transparently, with a built-in 80% solar-tariff check (Art. 16b para. 2 EnV) that flags any rate above the legal cap — transparent and fully traceable.

  3. Save hours of admin. No Excel, no manual calculations, no chaos — finished in minutes instead of hours.

  4. Sell solar power directly to your tenants. Charge up to the permitted maximum tariff and increase your property’s return — SchäferStrom flags any rate above the legal cap.

  5. One platform for every property. All your statements, meters, consumption and tenants in a single place — ideal for landlords and property managers.

  6. Flexible tariffs. Supports peak, off-peak and single tariffs plus a separate solar tariff — each applied automatically.

  7. Customisable. Whether it’s your own logo or a login for your tenants, tailor everything to your needs.

New

Now built for the virtual ZEV too

With a virtual self-consumption community (vZEV) you bill your solar power across several buildings — without any structural changes to the metering. SchäferStrom handles it in full compliance with the new Swiss electricity law.

No rewiring

The virtual community uses the existing metering points — no intervention in the building installation.

Separate solar tariff

Bill your solar power at its own tariff — separate from grid power and fully transparent.

Flexible allocation

Distribute solar self-consumption proportionally to usage, by a fixed percentage or with fixed kWh per building.

Legally compliant

Built-in check against the VNB reference tariff per Art. 16 EnV — your solar tariff automatically stays within the allowed range.
