Local service
PV installation Uster: solar mounting company
Uster is especially relevant for residential PV with stronger self-consumption. The focus stays on clean installation and a clear project flow.
Clarify before quoting
In Uster, clean installation, clear roof details and a handover that prepares future storage or EV charging matter most.
For Uster we plan PV installations object-specifically: mounting structures per SIA 261, SUVA-compliant fall protection and complete handover documentation before the system goes live.

Context
How this service works in Uster in practice.
In Uster, local conditions decide the project path: what matters before quoting, how delivery runs and what is truly handed over in the end.
Service focus
What really matters for installation on site
Mounting structure per SIA 261, documented penetrations, SUVA-compliant fall protection and complete handover including string diagram, measurement protocol and photo documentation.
- Mounting structure matched to tile, sheet metal, facade or flat-roof systems – not generic, but dimensioned object-specifically to wind zone (SIA 261), snow loads and building height.
- Clean cable routing with documented penetrations and roof membrane protection. Every transition between roof and electrical installation is photographed and recorded.
- Coordination of scaffolding, fall protection (SUVA-compliant), installation logistics and object-specific safety requirements – including a mounting concept prior to material ordering.
- Photo documentation and traceable handover: single-line diagram, string plan, data sheets and photos. The electrical contractor issues the test report and the safety certificate, so acceptance, grid operator and future service have everything in one place.
Regional framework
Why this canton shifts the priorities
The federal register lists 33,435 photovoltaic systems with 939 MW in the Canton of Zurich, 5,762 of them added since January 2025 (as of 14 Sep 2026). EKZ serves 132 of the 160 municipalities, ewz the City of Zurich and Stadtwerk Winterthur the city of Winterthur; a self-consumed kWh is worth 17.9 to 28.7 ct in 2027 depending on the utility (ElCom).
- Detached homes benefit from well-planned mounting structures and cable routing.
- Owners want understandable documentation instead of vague handovers.
- Expansion options such as batteries or wallboxes should be considered early.
Project logic
How roof, installation and electrical work fit together
The order records these steps, responsibilities and required documents. Outstanding assessments belong in the schedule before work begins.
- Mounting structure matched to roof type and usage.
- Clean penetrations and orderly cable routing.
- Documented handover with future upgrades in mind.
Regional context
PV Installation in Uster: what matters here
In Uster, Zürich, cantonal rules, the responsible grid operator and local permit procedures shape how a project is planned and delivered. The points below show what really matters before quoting, installation and handover.
- Regional starting point
- Uster is shaped by Canton Zürich rules, but roof access, meter cabinet and actual building use decide the local project path.
- Service core
- Installation quality is decided before site work starts: roof access, mounting structure, cable routing and fall protection need to be planned together.
- Grid & registration
- For Uster, Zürich, grid operators such as EWZ, EKZ, metering concept and commissioning are aligned early.
- Decision reason
- Detached homes benefit from well-planned mounting structures and cable routing.
- Execution
- Mounting structure matched to roof type and usage.
- Economic frame
- Feed-in tariff and self-consumption are matched to the property; in the canton, 9.0 Rp./kWh Minimum (EKZ) / 12.91 Rp./kWh (EWZ) / 14 Rp./kWh LEG is one relevant reference point.
Cantonal framework
Which cantonal framework really shapes Uster.
Uster operates inside the same cantonal system as other projects in Zürich: taxes, incentives and energy law shape both speed and economics.
Local context
Uster decides locally, but is shaped canton-wide.
EKZ is the grid operator in 132 of the 160 municipalities in Zurich; a self-consumed kWh is worth 17.9 to 28.7 ct in 2027 depending on the utility (ElCom).
Tax and subsidy logic
In the Canton of Zurich, investments in PV systems are 100% deductible as property maintenance – for both new installations and replacements. Costs can be spread over up to three tax periods. No cantonal PV grant: the cantonal programme supports the building envelope, solar thermal systems and seasonal storage but excludes battery storage. Investment funding comes from the Pronovo one-time payment (mounted under 30 kW: CHF 360/kW). The City of Zurich tops up to maximum amounts including Pronovo (CHF 5,000 base plus CHF 450/kWp up to 30 kWp) and funds batteries with CHF 1,000 plus CHF 100/kWh; city application before construction.
Permits and energy law
Notification procedure since 1 January 2023: if nothing else is ordered within 30 days of the acknowledgement of receipt, work may begin. Solar systems in core zones, in townscape or heritage inventories, under protection orders and on facades of buildings over 11 m still require a permit. Zurich implemented MuKEn 2014 as of 2022. New buildings must install at least 10 watts of solar capacity per square meter of energy reference area. The revised Energy Act (EnG ZH) also requires switching to renewable systems when replacing heating.
Market signal and location
The federal register lists 33,435 photovoltaic systems with 939 MW in the Canton of Zurich, 5,762 of them added since January 2025 (as of 14 Sep 2026). EKZ serves 132 of the 160 municipalities, ewz the City of Zurich and Stadtwerk Winterthur the city of Winterthur; a self-consumed kWh is worth 17.9 to 28.7 ct in 2027 depending on the utility (ElCom). There is no cantonal PV grant in the Canton of Zurich; the Pronovo one-time payment is what counts. The City of Zurich tops up with maximum amounts including Pronovo and funds battery storage (CHF 1,000 plus CHF 100/kWh); other municipalities have their own programmes.
