Frequently asked questions and answers
What you should know before making a request.
What does a solar system cost and when does it pay off?
Costs depend on system capacity (kWp), roof shape, installation work, components and any extras, such as battery storage. The payback period depends on self-consumption, electricity prices, remuneration and subsidies. Your quote includes specific calculations for both costs and the payback period.
Can I share solar power with tenants or neighbours (ZEV and other models)?
Depending on the building and billing arrangements, a self-consumption association (ZEV) or a comparable model may be possible. Requirements and billing depend on the property, grid connection and metering arrangements. The specialist installer checks feasibility when preparing the quote.
Do I need a permit?
In many cases, a notification procedure is sufficient. Exceptions apply, for example, in protected zones, for listed buildings and where special building regulations apply. The canton, municipality and local building authorities are responsible. The specialist installer checks whether you need a permit when preparing the quote.
Is a battery storage system worth it?
A battery storage system increases self-consumption, but it is not economically viable in every case. Whether it is worthwhile for you depends on your consumption profile (especially heat pump and electric car), the size of the solar system, battery prices, and feed-in remuneration. You will receive a reliable recommendation with the quote, calculated based on your data.
Are subsidies taken into account?
Yes. Specialist installers account for subsidies from the federal government, canton and municipality in the quote. The final amount depends on the location, system size and current programmes and is checked when the quote is prepared.
Do I really receive “only” 3 quotes?
Yes, and that is intentional: We pass your details exclusively to a maximum of three vetted specialist installers from our partner network. This keeps your data protected and provides an optimal balance between choice and effort. All specialist installers are members of Swissolar.
Which providers prepare the quotes?
Carefully selected specialist installers from your region. All are members of Swissolar: Membership is a prerequisite for inclusion and ongoing collaboration. In addition, we regularly check the quality of advice and customer feedback. You alone decide which quote suits you best and whether to commission an installer.
What happens after my request?
We check your details and select up to three specialist installers from your region that suit your project. They introduce themselves by email and then contact you by phone to discuss any outstanding questions. On weekdays, you will usually be contacted within 24 hours. Your request is sent exclusively to a maximum of three suitable specialist installers.
How quickly will I receive the quotes?
You will usually receive the first quotes within a few days. The exact time depends on the availability of the specialist installers and the characteristics of your property.
What information do I need for the request?
Some details about your project, such as the type of property, roof shape and desired financing. This allows us to select the specialist installers that suit your project.
Are the quotes really free of charge and non-binding?
Yes. The quotes are free and carry no obligation. You decide whether to work with a specialist installer and which one to choose.
