New price quote for photovoltaic energy storage in Zurich Switzerland

How much does a solar system cost in Switzerland?

A normal solar power system for an average single-family home in Switzerland costs around CHF 15,000 after subsidies and tax savings. The higher the self-consumption and the proportion of solar energy produced in the total energy requirements, the faster the solar system pays for itself.

Do solar panels pay off in Switzerland?

Installing solar panels on a multi-family home with nine residents spread across four apartments and a heat pump pays off in almost all Swiss cities and communes. The median lies at a return of 10.5 percent. On average, 63 percent of the solar power generated is consumed at home.

Are solar installations tax deductible in Lucerne?

In Lucerne, on the other hand, the subsidies were smaller than in Zurich and investments in solar installations are not tax-deductible. However, a compensation rate of 14.4 Swiss cents/kWh and electricity costs of 22.7 Swiss cents/kWh make it profitable to invest in a solar system with a capacity of 12 kW.

Does Switzerland need solar power?

Many power grid operators pay too little, thereby limiting the expansion of solar power. To reach its climate goals, Switzerland needs to massively increase its solar energy production. Photovoltaic panels on single- and multi-family homes play an important role in this regard as they represent 42 percent of potential roof space.

Are rooftop solar panels worth the cost?

Whether rooftop solar panels are worth the cost is largely dependent in Switzerland on local compensation rates for solar power and on electricity prices in general – these are the findings of a study by researchers at ETH Zurich and the University of Bern. Many power grid operators pay too little, thereby limiting the expansion of solar power.

Is a solar roof suitable for a photovoltaic system?

Our Solar Calculator analyzes the profitability of a PV system for you. If the roof is suitable for a photovoltaic system, the question often arises: Is the investment worth it? From a purely ecological point of view, this question can always be answered with a yes.
