Solar power in Niederbipp: what you should know
Electricity price and grid operator
Niederbipp is supplied by Einwohnergemeinde Niederbipp, Elektrizitätsversorgung, some parts also by BKW Energie AG. A household using 4,500 kWh a year pays 25.7 ct./kWh excluding VAT in 2026, 27.8 ct. including VAT. That is 2.0 ct. below the Swiss median and 3.6 ct. below the median in the Canton of Bern.
The electricity price here is not above the Swiss average. A system still pays off if it matches your consumption. That is why we plan it around your consumption, not around the largest possible area.
Roofs in Niederbipp
According to the Swiss Federal Office of Energy, the roofs in Niederbipp could deliver around 91 GWh of solar power a year, 15,690 kWh per person. Today 16.6% of it is used, compared with a Swiss average of 12.8%. That puts Niederbipp above the Swiss average.
Of the 1,402 residential buildings, 930 are single-family homes and 229 are apartment buildings.
According to MeteoSwiss, hailstones of 3.5 cm are to be expected in Niederbipp 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 Bern for notification, subsidies and tax deduction is on the page Solar installation in the Canton of Bern. We register the system and submit the subsidy applications. On request, we pre-finance the subsidies.
57.5% of residential buildings in Niederbipp 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.
What does electricity cost in Niederbipp?
With Einwohnergemeinde Niederbipp, Elektrizitätsversorgung, a household using 4,500 kWh a year pays 25.7 ct./kWh excluding VAT in 2026, 27.8 ct. including VAT (ElCom).
Is a solar system worth it in Niederbipp?
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 770 of grid power a year at the Einwohnergemeinde Niederbipp, 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 permit for a solar system in the Canton of Bern?
Sufficiently well-integrated systems on roofs, and since 1 January 2026 under certain conditions on facades too, do not need a building permit. They are notified through eBau at the latest seven working days before building work starts (Art. 7a BewD). For cultural monuments and buildings worthy of protection, a building permit is still needed.
Does the Canton of Bern subsidise photovoltaics?
The Canton of Bern does not directly subsidise photovoltaics. The federal government pays the one-off payment through Pronovo. Communes and energy suppliers sometimes have their own programmes, which we check for your address when preparing the quote.
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.
