Core service

Every roof is different. Our installation too.

Behind Switzerland’s solar record lie enormous quality differences: faulty module fixing, inadequate earthing and poor cable management are among the most common defects according to industry experts. PV installation is the interaction of roof membrane, mounting structure, cable routing, safety and a handover that remains traceable ten years later. Vigorek prepares a mounting concept before the first material is ordered.

In short

Mounting structure per SIA 261, documented penetrations, SUVA-compliant fall protection and complete handover including string diagram, measurement protocol and photo documentation.

Process

Onto the roof in four steps.

A clear, documented process – from first planning to complete handover.

  1. 01

    Mounting concept

    Structure, wind zone and cable routes are planned before any material is ordered.

  2. 02

    Substructure

    Object-specific mounting by roof type – tile, sheet metal, facade or flat roof.

  3. 03

    Cabling & safety

    Documented penetrations, protected roof membrane, SUVA-compliant fall protection.

  4. 04

    Handover & documentation

    String plan, measurement protocol, photos and safety verification – traceable in ten years.

Service in detail

What you can expect from us.

From planning to handover: the scope, the standards behind it and the projects this service is made for.

01Scope of work

What we concretely handle.

From substructure to handover, every step is defined before the first material reaches the roof.

What’s included

  • 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, measurement protocol, photos – everything needed for acceptance, grid operator and future service.
02Why this is chosen

How you recognise clean work.

It is not the result alone that counts, but ownership, compliance and a traceable process.

Dependable standards

  • Mounting concept before material ordering – not improvisation on the roof.
  • Clear responsibilities: roofer, electrician, project management. No single-person-does-everything approach.
  • Safety verification (SiNa) per SN EN 62446-1 by a certified specialist – mandatory from 2 kWp under NIN 2025 Chapter 7.12.
  • DC connectors from the same manufacturer per NIN 2025, Chapter 7.12.5.2.6 – applied consistently, not only on new installations.
03Typical application

Where this service makes the difference.

Not every roof needs the same depth – these projects benefit the most.

Especially fits

  • Single-family homes with high aesthetic standards (full-black, in-roof), clean cable routing and long-term value preservation.
  • PV projects where mounting area, substructure, cable routes, inverter and grid connection must be coordinated cleanly.
  • Commercial roofs with complex access, multiple roof penetrations and elevated documentation requirements (e.g. for insurers or authorities).

The Founders

Engineering depth. Financial structure.

You know before signing who calculates your project and who builds it. Behind that are two founders with two areas of expertise — engineering and finance — and the conviction that a solar system only works long-term when both fit together from the start.

Regional Expertise

Locally rooted, experienced nationwide.

Every region has its own regulations, subsidies, and grid operators. We know the local conditions and support your project perfectly tailored to your location.

Regional fit

Our experience in your region.

Whether it's building permits, cantonal subsidies or registration with the local grid operator: a smooth execution requires local knowledge. Find specific information for your area here.

Priority region

Aargau

Aargau is known as the "energy canton" – with PSI (Paul Scherrer Institute) in Villigen researching solar technologies and PARK INNOVAARE as an innovation cluster. AEW Energie AG compensates feed-in at 11.15 Rp./kWh (2025, including HKN). The high density of industrial and commercial buildings offers enormous potential for large rooftop systems. Additionally, the canton supports battery storage with dedicated contributions.

Priority region

Basel-Landschaft

In Basel-Landschaft, EBL and Primeo Energie compete with notably different compensation rates (Primeo: 10.5 Rp./kWh + 2.5 Rp. HKN, EBL: market-based from ~3 Rp.). The Baselbieter Energiepaket 2026–2030 provides CHF 51.25 million with bonus contributions for combined roof/facade renovations with PV. Sunny locations in the Ergolz valley and southern Jura slopes deliver irradiation values comparable to the Zurich region.

Priority region

Basel-Stadt

Basel-Stadt pursues the ambitious net-zero 2037 climate target. The solar offensive mandates PV systems on new buildings and gradually extends the obligation to existing buildings (15-year transition). IWB compensates feed-in at 14 Rp./kWh – one of Switzerland's highest tariffs. On the dense urban roofscape, every square metre of mounting area and execution precision count.

Priority region

Bern

Bern ranks among the cantons with the highest installed PV capacity per capita. BKW and EWB offer feed-in compensation up to 10.96 Rp./kWh (EWB). In the Bernese Oberland, altitude and snow reflection deliver up to 12% higher winter yields with bifacial modules – placing special demands on mounting structures and load distribution on alpine roofs.
