    Huber+Suhner presents innovation for fast internet

    Huber+Suhner has expanded its Resa range to improve high-speed internet coverage in rural areas. According to a media release, the new RESA CC connection solution accelerates broadband coverage for individual properties in rural residential areas. Network operators benefit from time and money savings, and homeowners from greater speed and flexibility when connecting to the Internet via fast fibre-optic lines. RESA CC is smaller and more compact than the RESA SC connection solution, which also requires other work around the fibre optic installation.

    Step one of the installation includes a pre-installation under the ground along the property line by the network operator, after which the household is connected to the street distributor via a duct bundle system. In the second phase, the final metres of the fibre connection are made in cooperation with a local installer. The two-stage approach allows the expansion of the broadband infrastructure for “an entire street at once”. Another advantage of the procedure is the reduced effort for the cost-intensive splicing. In future, splicing will only have to be done at the street distributor, not at each individual property. This will have a cost-reducing and resource-saving effect on the civil engineering work.

    “Given the increased demand for home network connections, we are pleased to add RESA CC to our already revolutionary portfolio,” Andreas Sila, Vice President for the Data Centre and Fixed Network Markets at Huber+Suhner, is quoted as saying.

  • Climate neutral by 2050

    Climate neutral by 2050

    Many homeowners cannot afford a renovation. Long-term loans are now intended to support builders who want to make their property climate-friendly but do not have sufficient financial resources or prefer to invest their money in their core business. At least that's what the state wants. Whether and how this can be done remains questionable. Because the financial institutions intended for this, such as banks and insurance companies, are hardly interested in loans with terms of more than 30 years. The federal government therefore wants to act as a security guarantor. A pilot project in Berne is now to examine whether this financing idea is realistic.

    The Zuger Energeek Group AG proposes another way. "With Energeek®, the solar panel with rental for you", she gets people to invest in solar energy, whether they own real estate or not. Energeek provides the solar panels and the real estate projects. Anyone who wants to invest can buy one or more panels online and then rent them out to a project company. Upon purchase, the buyer also benefits immediately from the one-time payment (EIV), the federal subsidy for solar systems. The panels acquired will be integrated into a larger panel network that generates electricity sustainably; the buyer of these panels thus becomes a producer of electricity through renewable energy with the right to rental income. A minimum rental price is guaranteed when the contract is signed. However, upward rent adjustments are possible at any time. For example, when the price of electricity rises with inflation. The purchased solar panels can also be resold, inherited or given away at any time together with the rental agreement and the associated rental income.

    Another big advantage: so that solar panels and the projects work very efficiently, solar trackers are used whenever possible and in addition to the permanently installed PV area. With these, the panels are not permanently installed, but rotate according to the sun. This means that, for example, the morning and evening sun is also optimally used. Or discover the smallest gap in the cloud on a cloudy day and use it to generate electricity. This achieves an increase in production of an additional + 63% kWh on average. This in comparison to permanently installed solar panels.

    Energeek Group AG presents the projects for which solar panels can be purchased on its website. The buyer can decide for himself which project the acquired panels should be rented to. For example, a project on a horse farm and hotel in the Freiberge is currently on offer. There, the group, together with its certified partners, will set up photovoltaic systems on a planned area of 1,590 square meters and thus supply the hotel building infrastructure, neighbors, heat pumps and e-charging station(s) with electricity. A panel in this project currently costs a little more than CHF 900, the annual rental income is CHF 82.50. A respectable return.
