Solar power in Rupperswil: what you should know
Electricity price and grid operator
Rupperswil is supplied by Gemeinde Rupperswil, Elektrizitätsversorgung. A household using 4,500 kWh a year pays 30.3 ct./kWh excluding VAT in 2026, 32.8 ct. including VAT. That is 2.6 ct. above the Swiss median.
Because grid power here costs more than the Swiss average, every kilowatt hour you use from your own roof is worth correspondingly more.
Roofs in Rupperswil
According to the Swiss Federal Office of Energy, the roofs in Rupperswil could deliver around 47 GWh of solar power a year, 7,184 kWh per person. Today 10.7% of it is used, compared with a Swiss average of 12.8%. So a large share of the suitable roofs is still free.
Of the 1,384 residential buildings, 1,017 are single-family homes and 202 are apartment buildings.
According to MeteoSwiss, hailstones of 3.5 cm are to be expected in Rupperswil about every 50 years. This determines the hail resistance class of the modules.
Subsidies and permit
The federal government pays a one-off payment (Einmalvergütung) of CHF 360 per kW through Pronovo, so CHF 3,600 for a 10 kWp system.
What applies in the Canton of Aargau for notification, subsidies and tax deduction is on the page Solar installation in the Canton of Aargau. We register the system and submit the subsidy applications. On request, we pre-finance the subsidies.
50.7% of residential buildings in Rupperswil still heat with oil or gas. Anyone who later switches to a heat pump needs more power and uses more from their own roof.

Frequently asked questions
Before you get in touch.
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.

With Gemeinde Rupperswil, Elektrizitätsversorgung, a household using 4,500 kWh a year pays 30.3 ct./kWh excluding VAT in 2026, 32.8 ct. including VAT (ElCom).
Is a solar system worth it in Rupperswil?
That depends on the roof and on your consumption. As a guide, a 10 kWp system produces around 10,000 kWh a year. If you use 30% of it yourself, you save around CHF 910 of grid power a year at the Gemeinde Rupperswil, Elektrizitätsversorgung tariff. On top come the payment for the power you feed in and a one-off payment of CHF 3,600. At the site visit we calculate with your figures.

Do I need a building application for a solar system in the Canton of Aargau?
For most roof-mounted systems in Aargau, a notification to the commune council is enough. A building application is needed for protected buildings, in protection zones and for free-standing systems. We check your address and file the notification.
Does the Canton of Aargau pay subsidies for photovoltaics?
The Canton of Aargau does not subsidise the photovoltaic system itself. The 2026 subsidy programme includes a photovoltaic bonus if you insulate the roof or facade at the same time. You apply for the bonus before building work starts.
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.
