The benefits of solar energy

Investing in photovoltaics is an effective way to become more independent from the national grid. By producing your own electricity, you protect yourself against future energy price hikes.

The profitability of your installation depends mainly on your ability to optimize the share of electricity consumed on-site. By using your household appliances during sunny hours, you maximize your self-consumption.

Use the RenoIndex estimator to evaluate the economic potential of your roof and get a transparent budget range for your future works.

Financial support and grants

Although no specific local grants are mentioned for Adliswil, it is advisable to regularly check cantonal programs.

To get a realistic costing including these subsidy possibilities, the RenoIndex simulator is the ideal tool for a reliable estimate of your out-of-pocket expenses.

Administrative procedures and permits
