Renovations, heritage and volumes

How can I get a cost estimate?

Use the free RenoIndex estimator. It allows you to quickly get a price range for your solar panels based on Swiss market standards and the specifics of your project.

What grants are available?

You may benefit from the federal one-off remuneration (Pronovo), which subsidizes a portion of investment costs for small solar installations. Check the terms on the official Pronovo website.

Do I need a building permit?

In Switzerland, a suitably integrated roof system often only requires a simple notification procedure. However, check specific rules with local authorities in Muri to ensure full compliance.

Is profitability guaranteed?

Profitability depends heavily on your self-consumption rate. The higher your self-consumption, the faster the system pays for itself, providing greater savings for your household.
