This distribution describes recorded buildings, not your system's consumption or efficiency.
| Energy | Heating | Hot water |
|---|---|---|
| Gas | 2 % | 1.8 % |
| Heating oil | 46 % | 49.6 % |
| District heating | 6 % | 5.9 % |
| Heat pump | 11 % | 7.3 % |
| Electricity | 5 % | 19.4 % |
| Wood | 29 % | 14.7 % |
| Solar thermal | 0 % | 1.1 % |
Each line gives the share of buildings using that energy, separately for heating and for hot water. The two columns do not always reach 100%: some buildings combine two systems, or reported none.
A standard non-condensing boiler is usually older and less efficient.
29.6 % of buildings mix housing with shops or offices.
For your renovation plans in Saanen, the official building registry data provides essential context. Regarding heritage protection, 42 out of 374 known buildings are protected, meaning you must contact the municipality early to navigate permit requirements. The median building volume is 1496 m3; however, this figure covers only 31 of the 1308 houses measured under the SIA 416 standard, with the remainder using other metrics. Please be aware that data coverage for building volume is partial and information regarding the renovation year is not available in the current registry for this municipality.

A storage battery is particularly useful when your solar output clearly exceeds your daytime use. Without storage, this surplus is fed into the grid. By storing this energy, you can power your household appliances when the sun has gone down.
This increases the self-consumption rate of your home in Saanen, thereby optimizing your return on investment.
Carefully analyze your daily consumption profile before getting started, as this balance between generation and usage will determine the actual profitability of your new storage system.
It is crucial to size your battery capacity based on your evening consumption, rather than the total power of your photovoltaic panels. An oversized system unnecessarily increases investment costs without guaranteeing increased efficiency.
Identify the energy-hungry appliances used during your evenings to define the optimal size. Do not hesitate to consult a professional for a precise technical study.
RenoIndex helps you visualize price ranges for different capacities to facilitate your purchasing decision and avoid common planning mistakes.
Before any purchase, you must check compatibility with your existing inverter. Some battery models require specific interfaces or a hybrid inverter to function properly.
Improper integration can reduce system performance or lead to additional labor costs during installation. Ensure the space chosen for the battery complies with current safety standards.
By using the RenoIndex estimator, you can obtain a budget estimate that includes these technical aspects, allowing you to compare installer quotes against reliable price databases.
Budget planning is the most important step for your renovation project in Saanen. Beyond equipment costs, include electrical installation fees, any necessary upgrades to your distribution board, and commissioning fees.
Research available grants, although no specific subsidies have been listed for this municipality. Transparency is key to a successful project.
