Frequently asked questions
Here you will find answers to the most common questions about solar installations, subsidies and our matching service in Switzerland.
Is PVPro's service free?
Yes, our service is completely free for homeowners. We are funded by commissions from partner installers — with no extra cost to you.
How much does a solar installation cost in Switzerland?
For a detached house, prices are typically between CHF 15,000 and CHF 35,000 after subsidies. This depends on the system size, roof type and components chosen.
What subsidies exist for solar in Switzerland?
The federal government offers the one-time payment (OTP): approximately CHF 300–400 per kWp. Many cantons also have their own programmes. The investment is also tax-deductible.
How long does installation take?
The actual installation usually takes 1 to 3 days depending on the system size. From first contact to commissioning, allow about 4 to 8 weeks.
How much electricity does a solar installation produce?
In Switzerland, a solar installation produces approximately 900–1,000 kWh per kWp per year. A 10 kWp installation therefore produces around 9,000–10,000 kWh per year.
Am I obliged to accept any offer?
No. You can decline all quotes without any consequences. No contract is concluded with PVPro.
How quickly will I receive quotes?
As a rule, you receive offers within 24 to 48 hours of your request.
Is solar worth it in Switzerland?
Yes. Thanks to rising electricity prices and available subsidies, most installations pay for themselves within 10 to 15 years, with a lifespan of 25 to 30 years.
How do I choose the right system size?
The ideal size depends on your annual electricity consumption, available roof space and budget. Our partner installers will advise you personally.
Is PVPro active throughout Switzerland?
Yes, we operate in all 26 Swiss cantons — in German-, French- and Italian-speaking Switzerland.
