Short answer
How much is the PV incentive in Uri in 2026?
In Canton Uri, winter-optimised PV systems on existing buildings receive a flat CHF 1,000 plus CHF 250 per kWp in 2026, up to CHF 50,000. The system must have at least 2 kWp, a 60° to 90° module tilt and a complete application before the modules are mounted. New builds and replacements are excluded.
Important
As of 24 September 2026, UR-06 is not a general PV grant: a conventional roof tilt, a new build, a replacement system or an incomplete application before the modules are mounted is not enough for eligibility. Applicants who start after submitting a complete application but before the funding decision do so at their own risk under Uri's conditions; payment follows only after completion review and compliance with the requirements. On the calculation, note that the 2026 funding conditions and the overview sheet of the 2026 funding model are worded differently — "CHF 250 per kWp" versus "CHF 250 per additional kWp". What is binding is the decision issued by the Uri Office of Energy, not your own calculation.

Decision points
What determines the right path.
Funding path UR-06 targets winter electricity: the system must be grid-connected, have at least 2 kWp and use a module tilt between 60° and 90°.
The building status determines eligibility under UR-06: systems on existing buildings are supported, but replacements and installations forming part of a new build are not.
The timing of the complete application is critical: under the 2026 conditions, mounting the PV modules counts as the start of installation, so all required documents must have reached the Uri Office of Energy beforehand.
The calculation is worded differently across the cantonal documents: the 2026 funding conditions state "CHF 1,000 flat, from 2 kWp: plus CHF 250 per kWp", whereas the overview sheet of the 2026 funding model says "flat CHF 1,000, plus CHF 250 per additional kWp". The maximum of CHF 50,000 per system is undisputed, but the reading decides several hundred francs and should be clarified with the Office of Energy before filing.
Worked calculation, expressly non-binding: at 8 kWp, the funding conditions wording "CHF 250 per kWp" gives CHF 1,000 + (8 × CHF 250) = CHF 3,000. The overview sheet wording "per additional kWp" could instead mean CHF 1,000 + (6 × CHF 250) = CHF 2,500. This difference is not a grant promise; confirm the applicable reading in writing with the Uri Office of Energy before ordering.
Combination with the building envelope programme is limited: under the 2026 conditions, UR-06 cannot be combined with the enhanced M-01 grant for facade-integrated PV.
Payment depends on completion evidence: the Uri Office of Energy requires, among other items, a signed final form, photos of the new system, invoices and a fully completed and signed commissioning protocol.
Sequence
How the project stays cleanly managed.
- 1
Classify the roof or facade as part of an existing building and document at least 2 kWp and a 60° to 90° module tilt in the UR-06 design.
- 2
Compare UR-06 and M-01 before finalising the quotethe 2026 conditions exclude combining the winter-electricity path with the enhanced grant for facade-integrated PV.
- 3
Calculate the grant using both cantonal wordings, document the variant in the application and obtain the binding calculation from the Uri Office of Energy. Your worked example does not replace an official decision.
- 4
Enter the application in Uri's funding portal, sign the generated application form and attach before-photos of the roof or facade area.
- 5
Submit the complete application with all documents to the Uri Office of Energy before mounting the modules; under the 2026 conditions, work may begin at the applicant's own risk before the decision only after the submission is complete.
- 6
After installation, secure the UR-06 evidencephotos of the new system, invoices for the funded measures and a fully completed and signed commissioning protocol are required for completion.
- 7
Generate the signed final form in the portal, submit it with the completion documents and plan for payment only after the Uri Office of Energy has reviewed the file.
Checklist
Questions to settle before the quote.
- UR-06: CHF 1,000 flat payment, CHF 250 per kWp and a maximum grant of CHF 50,000
- Document an existing building, grid connection, at least 2 kWp and a module tilt of 60° to 90°
- Submit the required documents before mounting the modules and collect the completion evidence for payment
- Distinguish UR-06 from the enhanced M-01 grant for facade-integrated PV and from Pronovo funding
