Solar Installation Thurgau – Planning to Commissioning
In Canton Thurgau, owners usually want a clear project flow from first assessment to handover rather than a loose mix of subcontractors. That is exactly how we run solar projects – from the pre-check to documented commissioning.
Clarify before quoting
In Thurgau, a feed-in limitation to 70% of installed panel capacity applies from 2026 for new systems – making self-consumption optimisation and storage an integral part of every project plan. Thurplus develops innovative virtual ZEV and LEG models with "EigenverbrauchMax" and "LokalenergiePlus". The Solarstrom-Pool Thurgau provides additional subsidies for steeply mounted winter-electricity systems.
For a solar installation in Thurgau, success depends not only on module area but on the process: 3D survey, transparent quote, grid-operator coordination and commissioning with full documentation. Vigorek handles the full coordination — from the initial estimate to handover.

Context
How this service works in Thurgau in practice.
Thurgau comes with its own framework conditions – from incentives and tax treatment to technical requirements. From those, a cleanly managed project flow for your property takes shape.
Service focus
What the full installation secures on site
Vigorek plans and delivers complete PV systems across all German-speaking cantons: solar modules, inverter, roof installation, electrical coordination and commissioning. Battery storage and a wallbox can be planned around your consumption. Your quote defines the scope and responsibilities.
- Initial estimate and 3D survey (drone): roof, orientation, shading, electrical setup and possible constraints — before any quote is prepared.
- Transparent quote with clearly separated line items: material, installation, scaffolding, electrical, registration, commissioning — each one individually listed.
- Coordination of Pronovo registration, metering concept, grid-operator queries and meter replacement through to full commissioning.
- Optional integration of battery storage, wallbox and energy management — only where the usage profile and expansion goals support it.
Regional framework
Why this canton shifts the priorities
Thurgau: Swiss paradigm shift — first canton to subsidize ONLY facade systems (from April 2025). This signals the shift from roof to facade in the PV industry. Solar map immediately shows every owner their status. Solar power pool: 25 years of experience.
- In Canton Thurgau, a pre-check saves time when permits, metering or electrical setup are not standard.
- Owners want traceable quotes instead of aggressive package promises.
- A documented commissioning reduces later questions and service overhead.
Project logic
How coordination makes the difference
The order records these steps, responsibilities and required documents. Outstanding assessments belong in the schedule before work begins.
- Pre-check for roof, shading, electrical setup and potential constraints.
- Coordination of registration, metering concept and commissioning.
- Clean handover with traceable documentation for operations and service.
Regional context
Solar system installation in Thurgau: what matters here
In Canton Thurgau, 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
- In Canton Thurgau, incentives, grid operators and permit procedures change the priorities for this service.
- Service core
- A complete solar installation depends on sequencing, grid-operator coordination, electrical planning and clean commissioning.
- Grid & registration
- For Canton Thurgau, grid operators such as Thurplus, metering concept and commissioning are aligned early.
- Decision reason
- In Canton Thurgau, a pre-check saves time when permits, metering or electrical setup are not standard.
- Execution
- Pre-check for roof, shading, electrical setup and potential constraints.
- Economic frame
- Feed-in tariff and self-consumption are matched to the property; in the canton, Marktpreis BFE (quartalsweise) + 6 Rp./kWh Min. bis 30 kW + 2 Rp. HKN (Thurplus, ab 2026) is one relevant reference point.
Cantonal framework
Which cantonal framework shapes the project in Thurgau.
The technical service stays the same, but the project frame changes with the canton. That is exactly where incentives, tax treatment and MuKEn requirements become strategically relevant.
Local context
Thurgau sets the economic pace for this service.
The "Mostindien" canton offers plenty of roof space on agricultural buildings and fruit storage halls – ideal for large PV systems. The Lake Constance region also benefits from a mild climate and above-average sunshine hours.
Tax and subsidy logic
The Canton of Thurgau allows full tax deduction for PV investments as property maintenance. Deductions can be spread over two consecutive tax periods if needed. Facade-exclusive from April 2025: CHF 200/kWp subsidy ONLY for facade systems pitched ≥75° (max CHF 10,000 per system, annual budget CHF 100,000). Pure roof systems: no cantonal subsidy since 1 Apr 2025. Swiss first! New for 2026: cantonal battery storage subsidy of CHF 1,000 flat from 10 kWh usable capacity (max. 25%, application before installation). Solar power pool: 25 years of history, 800+ systems, 16 MW capacity.
Permits and energy law
Interactive solar map: for every building the map shows whether notification or building permit is needed (Green = notification, Orange = permit, Red ISOS = strict review). Facade systems: own rules. Roof systems: standard notification procedure. Thurgau implements energy regulations pragmatically and has adopted parts of MuKEn 2014 into its cantonal energy law. New buildings have self-generation requirements – PV systems are the preferred solution.
Market signal and location
Thurgau: Swiss paradigm shift — first canton to subsidize ONLY facade systems (from April 2025). This signals the shift from roof to facade in the PV industry. Solar map immediately shows every owner their status. Solar power pool: 25 years of experience. Since April 2025 the canton (Solarstrom-Pool) subsidises exclusively facade systems pitched ≥75° with CHF 200/kWp, max. CHF 10,000 per system and an annual budget of CHF 100,000. Pure roof systems no longer receive a cantonal subsidy – here the federal Pronovo one-time payment remains the key direct support. New stationary battery storage with at least 10 kWh of usable capacity receives a one-time cantonal investment grant of CHF 1,000 in 2026 (max. 25% of total investment, application before installation, capped at 700 applications). Thurplus pays for exported solar power from 2026 on a market basis (quarterly BFE reference market price) plus 2 Rp./kWh for guarantees of origin, with a statutory minimum of 6 Rp./kWh up to 30 kW.
