Solar installation in City

City is Stadt Zürich — Kreis 1's bahnhofstrasse gründerzeit (1880-1914) submarket. City Zürich is the post-1990s Umnutzungs-cohort where Gründerzeit Bürohäuser between Bahnhofplatz and Paradeplatz were converted to upscale Loft-Wohnen — almost every conversion needs an Umnutzungsbewilligung plus a Lärmschutz-Nachweis because the Bahnhofstrasse cohort sits in Empfindlichkeitsstufe III.

What a solar installation project looks like here

City Zürich is the post-1990s Umnutzungs-cohort where Gründerzeit Bürohäuser between Bahnhofplatz and Paradeplatz were converted to upscale Loft-Wohnen — almost every conversion needs an Umnutzungsbewilligung plus a Lärmschutz-Nachweis because the Bahnhofstrasse cohort sits in Empfindlichkeitsstufe III.

The street-level Geschäftsnutzung is protected by Stadt Zürich Bauordnung — converting a ground-floor Geschäftslokal to private Wohnung is regularly denied unless the Bauherrschaft can prove no commercial demand on a 24-month vermarktung trail.

Zurich rooftop + ground-mount solar PV with battery backup — interconnection per local utility + Hochbauamt Zurich + SIA 380/1 + KBOB structural review. In City specifically, bahnhofstrasse gründerzeit (1880-1914) stock means solar installation scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology.

Origin

Who is Baily?

Baily is named after Francis Baily — an English stockbroker who retired at 51, became an astronomer, and in 1836 described something on the edge of a solar eclipse that nobody had properly articulated before: a string of bright beads of sunlight breaking through the valleys along the moon’s rim.

He wasn’t the first to see them. Edmond Halley saw them in 1715 and barely noticed. Baily’s contribution was clarity — describing exactly what was happening, in plain language, so vividly that the whole field of astronomy paid attention. The phenomenon is still called Baily’s beads.

That’s what we wanted our AI to do. Every inbound call and text has signal in it — a homeowner’s real question, a timeline, a budget, a hesitation that means “yes but.” Baily listens to every one, 24/7, and finds the beads of light.

Baily was a businessman before he was a scientist. That’s our vibe too.
