PV mounting in Vaud: prepare the documents and roof design
PV mounting in Vaud requires a clear roof plan and the appropriate municipal procedure. Vigorek clarifies roof condition, mounting scope and electrical coordination with you before confirming an installation date.
Clarify before quoting
Cantonal documents are available in French. Have the municipality, plot and system type ready to establish the appropriate notification or permit. A canton-wide statement cannot replace this property-specific assessment.
Prefer to contact us directly? Send your property address, annual electricity consumption (if known) and preferred timing. Roof photos or existing plans help with the initial assessment.

Context
How this service works in Waadt in practice.
These answers help you plan the work and compare quotes on the same basis.
Planning & delivery
Can the system be notified without a building permit?
The canton provides a standard form for solar systems exempt from a building permit. Notification goes to the municipality. Eligibility depends on the system and factors such as the building’s protection status.
- Use the current form and describe the proposed system configuration completely.
- For a protected building, agree on the procedure with the municipality before ordering.
- Plan the building assessment and grid connection as separate tasks with named responsibilities.

Planning & delivery
Which documents help with preparation?
The cantonal form requires a site plan, a view of the panels on the building and product information, among other documents. They also help you compare mounting offers on the same basis.
- Record roof areas and obstacles in the plan; show proposed panel fields on photos or dimensioned views.
- Document orientation, tilt and modules so the design and quote describe the same option.
- Also arrange an on-site assessment of roof condition, access and cable routes; photos alone do not replace a survey.

Planning & delivery
Which costs should be clarified before placing the order?
Mounting quotes become comparable when roof work and electrical work are fully allocated. Discuss planned additional work before placing the order.
- Scaffolding, transport and roof access: ask which services are included and what may cost extra.
- Roof repairs and reinforcement: assess and price these separately where needed before installing the system.
- Electrical work and handover: identify who handles the grid operator, inspections, documentation and instructions.
