About Our Energy - ETH Zürich APK
Table Of Contents
Description
Electricity produced from photovoltaic (PV) systems are an important part of the 2000-Watt-Society and Swiss Energy Strategy 2050 targets. In fact, an additional 15 Terawatt-hours of electricity produced from PV is expected in Switzerland by 2050. However, more PV is not necessarily better; it is critical to intelligently use on-site energy generation to avoid curtailed (wasted) electricity production or grid instabilities.To help address these concerns in Switzerland, regulations facilitate self-consumption from decentralized PV systems with a recent focus on self-consumption communities. Self-consumption ratios for individual residential systems are as low as 15% and up to 56% depending on total installed PV capacity, geographic location and consumption profiles. For individual systems, demand side response strategies have the potential to increase self-consumption by 2-15% point. However, individual-based demand side response strategies often have a limited efficacy.
On the other hand, community scale solar PV systems have many advantages including a higher baseline for self-consumption from complementary load profiles. Furthermore, literature indicates that shared commodities (in this case, we propose electricity produced by the PV system), transparent monitoring, and mutual agreements have the greatest potential to create lasting sustainable consumption behavior. This however requires great coordination between multiple users to maximize anticipated benefits, and is a critical dynamic to understand as decentralized energy systems are further integrated into our daily lives.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
