Background
#Uri's 2026 PV incentive supports winter-optimised systems on existing buildings with a flat CHF 1,000 plus CHF 250 per kWp; systems must have at least 2 kWp and a module tilt of 60° to 90°.
The complete application must have reached the Uri Office of Energy before installation starts, with mounting the modules counting as the start. A conventionally tilted roof system, a new build or replacement of an existing system is not eligible under funding path UR-06. The cantonal grant must be assessed separately from the federal Pronovo process and the enhanced M-01 grant for facade-integrated PV. This guide explains the process and evidence required for PV owners in Canton Uri, as of 2026.

What counts for funding
#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.
The process in seven steps
#Tick off for your project
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.
Compare UR-06 and M-01 before finalising the quote
the 2026 conditions exclude combining the winter-electricity path with the enhanced grant for facade-integrated PV.
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.
Enter the application in Uri's funding portal, sign the generated application form and attach before-photos of the roof or facade area.
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.
After installation, secure the UR-06 evidence
photos of the new system, invoices for the funded measures and a fully completed and signed commissioning protocol are required for completion.
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.
