Identification

Climkit provides landlords with a complete energy management service for their buildings. With this efficient solution, they can make their photovoltaic investment profitable for the owner while providing a cheaper and renewable electricity to the consumers.

Climkit is a software that provides a reliable and cost-effective metering and invoicing service for solar communities. Thanks to their solution, real estate owners that have invested in a photovoltaic installation on the roof of an apartment or commercial building can sell the generated electricity to their tenants. For each consumer, they make a distinction between the solar and the grid electricity they have used, thus reducing their quarterly bill.
