What the full installation secures on site

Wetzikon complements Winterthur and Uster as an important region for complete PV projects. This page highlights the points that are especially relevant there. From initial assessment and 3D survey through a transparent quote to full commissioning — one project, one process, one contact.

Service focus

Initial assessment and 3D drone survey: 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

Wetzikon fits projects where central coordination and dependable project logic influence the decision. Zurich is Switzerland's largest cantonal market. With over 12,600 existing installations and only 4% of potential used, this represents the greatest growth potential. The combination of high incomes (maximum tax deduction) and high roof availability (70%+ suitable) makes Zurich the most attractive PV market in Switzerland.

Regional framework

A pre-check reduces open issues around roof, electrical work and registration.
Owners want traceable quotes instead of generic package pricing.
Handover should prepare monitoring and later operation cleanly.

Cantonal framework

Which cantonal framework really shapes Wetzikon.

Wetzikon operates inside the same cantonal system as other projects in Zürich: taxes, incentives and energy law shape both speed and economics.

Local context

Wetzikon decides locally, but is shaped canton-wide.

Zurich is a pioneer in ZEV projects (self-consumption associations) in multi-family houses and has the most registered ZEV communities nationwide. ETH Zurich actively researches building-integrated solar technology.

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. Zurich has no general cantonal PV top-up. The relevant elements are the Pronovo one-time payment, the cantonal battery storage subsidy of CHF 500/kWh (max. CHF 15,000, limited until the end of 2026), and municipal programs depending on the municipality. In the City of Zurich, EWZ is relevant with an average standard tariff of 12.91 Rp./kWh and 14 Rp./kWh in the LEG model.

Permits and energy law

Since January 1, 2023, most solar systems in Canton Zurich only require notification (30 days before construction) — no building permit. Exceptions: listed buildings, protected zones, facade systems on protected objects. 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

Zurich is Switzerland's largest cantonal market. With over 12,600 existing installations and only 4% of potential used, this represents the greatest growth potential. The combination of high incomes (maximum tax deduction) and high roof availability (70%+ suitable) makes Zurich the most attractive PV market in Switzerland. There is no general cantonal PV bonus in Zurich. The standard element is the Pronovo one-time payment (modelled in the calculator as CHF 360/kWp). In addition, there is a cantonal battery storage subsidy of CHF 500/kWh (max. CHF 15,000, limited until the end of 2026) and selected municipal add-on programs depending on the municipality.
