Solar calculator · free

What would a solar system on your roof bring you?

Enter your address, check the roof faces, answer a few short questions. You receive system size, yield, cost, subsidies and payback for your building.

Step 1 of 7:Address

Where is the building?

With the address we load the federal roof data for your building.

Which roof faces are suitable?
What kind of building is it?

Existing building or new build?

Are you the owner?

How much electricity do you use?

People in the household

I know my consumption

It is on your electricity bill. An estimate is fine.

What runs on electricity at your home?

Heat pump

Electric car

What are you planning?

Battery storage

When would you like to build?

Your results are ready.

Where may we send them?

  • System size and yearly yield
  • Cost, subsidies and tax savings
  • Payback with and without battery
  • Results by e-mail to keep

We do not pass on your details. We are not a quote portal, we build the systems ourselves.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about the solar calculator

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 accurate is the solar calculator?

It gives guide values, not a quote. It uses the federal roof data (sonnendach.ch), the electricity price of your municipality (ElCom 2026) and the one-off payment from Pronovo. What it cannot see: roof condition, shade from trees, electrical system, access. That is why we check these during a free site visit and send you a binding quote within 72 hours.

Where does the roof data come from?

From the Swiss Federal Office of Energy (sonnendach.ch). It records area, pitch, orientation and solar irradiation of every roof face of every building in Switzerland. The aerial image is from swisstopo. We count about 70 % of the area as panel area; the rest is needed for edges, gaps and roof windows.

Which subsidies are included?

The federal one-off payment (Pronovo): CHF 360 per kWp for systems below 30 kWp, proportionally less above. Plus the tax deduction for existing private buildings, calculated with a marginal tax rate of 25 %. Cantonal and municipal grants are not included; we check them during the site visit.

Is a battery worth it?

A battery raises self-consumption but costs more. Whether it pays depends on the feed-in tariff and your consumption. That is why the calculator shows both options side by side.

Why do you need my contact details?

We send you the results by e-mail, and a project manager looks at the figures. We do not pass on your details. We are not a referral portal; we plan and build the systems ourselves.

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.
