Frequently asked questions

Before you get in touch.

Your question is not listed?

044 980 08 80info@solarinnovation.ch
Is the site visit really free?

Yes. The visit and the quote cost you nothing and commit you to nothing. You only decide once you hold the binding quote in your hands.

How many electric cars are there in Horgen?

According to Energie Reporter, 7.3% of passenger cars in Horgen are electric, around 930 cars. The Swiss average is 5.5%.

What does charging at home cost in Horgen?

At the Elektrizitätswerke des Kantons Zürich (EKZ) tariff (24.1 ct./kWh excluding VAT), 100 km at 18 kWh cost around CHF 4.30. With power from your own roof it gets cheaper.

Do you come to Horgen for a site visit?

Yes. Horgen is around 9 km from our location in Zumikon. The site visit is free and with no obligation, and you receive the quote within 72 hours.

Is there a subsidy for a wallbox in the Canton of Zurich?

The Canton of Zurich does not subsidise the wallbox itself but the basic installation with connection, distribution and load management. The programme runs until the end of 2026 at the latest, and the funds are almost used up. We check before the quote whether a contribution is still possible for your project.

Do I pay less motor vehicle tax for an electric car in the Canton of Zurich?

Today, yes: purely electric cars are exempt from the vehicle charge in the Canton of Zurich. The Cantonal Council is discussing a charge based on weight, which would apply in a few years at the earliest. Hybrid vehicles pay the regular charge for their category.

Which regions do you cover?

All of German-speaking Switzerland. We build most often in the cantons of Zurich, St. Gallen, Schwyz and Aargau. Our locations are in Zumikon ZH and Lachen SZ.
