Frequently asked questions

Do I need a building permit?

In most cases, a solar installation integrated into the roof is only subject to a notification procedure. However, check the specific rules of your municipality, especially if your building is listed or located in a protected area.

What financial aid is available?

The main support is the federal one-off remuneration via Pronovo. It subsidizes part of the investment costs for small photovoltaic systems. It is essential to apply before starting the work.

How to estimate the total cost?

The cost depends on the roof area, power, and complexity. To get a realistic price range in CHF, you can use our free RenoIndex estimator, which takes your specific needs into account.

Is profitability guaranteed?

Profitability depends heavily on your self-consumption rate. The more you use the electricity you produce at the time you generate it, the faster your investment will be amortized. A proper sizing study is recommended.
