Your PV project in Ausserrhoden
What your roof needs. What your quote explains.
CHF 13,500–27,000
Example: 5–10 kWp rooftop PV · Market benchmark
Incl. 8.1% VAT, before incentives and tax deductions, without a battery. Calculated from the SFOE median of CHF 2,497/kWp: the range reflects different system sizes. A market comparison, not a quote.
Roof renovation, structural reinforcement and replacement of the meter cabinet are not included. Roof access, electrical work and planning can change the price. Your specific quote follows the property assessment.
SFOE price survey 2025 · 03 Aug 2026 (PDF)Check incentive eligibility
Up to 50% cantonal top-up on the federal one-off payment. Check eligibility and mandatory capacity first; apply after commissioning and the legally binding Pronovo decision.
Incentives for my projectSource: Canton AR · kM-21Roof and protection status
The municipality determines whether notification is sufficient or a permit is needed. For traditional buildings and protected areas, clarify this before finalising the panel layout.
Check the local procedureSource: AR guide · June 2024 (PDF)Grid connection and self-consumption
Grid operator and connection conditions depend on your property. For PV below 30 kW in 2026, SAK pays at least 6 Rp./kWh or the higher quarterly reference price; guarantees of origin are considered separately.

Services
What we offer.
PV system, heat pump, storage, wallbox and monitoring from one team. Every service is planned as part of a working energy system.
01 · Roof & facade
Plan and install PV systems cleanly.
We review roof, structure, shading, cable routing, inverter and grid connection. Then we create a technically reliable quote.

Process
Understand first, then promise.
From first contact to commissioning, every system follows a clear process. We clarify roof, electrical work, incentives and expansion path completely. Only then do you receive a reliable quote. No site chaos, no wishful math.
- 01About 2 minutes
Initial estimate
Your key details are enough for a first, honest orientation — no appointment, no obligation.
- 02Response within 24–48 h
3D survey & technical review
We measure the roof by drone and clarify electrical work, regulations and the grid operator.
- 03A few days after the survey
Transparent quote
You see every line item individually, realistic ranges and sensible options such as storage or a wallbox.
- 04After permit and grid-operator approval
Planning, installation & commissioning
We coordinate execution, registration, acceptance and documentation until your system is reliably connected to the grid.
Swiss facts
Applies to residential and commercial properties.
- One-time remuneration
- Federal support depends on system type and size band. Vigorek clarifies which remuneration rate applies to your property and how it interacts with canton and grid operator.
- Storage as a system decision
- A battery only pays off when it fits your consumption and home technology. We assess it as part of the overall plan — not as a late upsell.
- Realistic payback
- We calculate with ranges instead of wishful numbers: self-consumption, remuneration and tariff logic together give a realistic picture of your economic return.
Economics
What does your solar system save?
We map self-consumption, feed-in tariff and payback for your property — so you see early what the system realistically returns.
Proof
How sound planning becomes visible.
Our quotes are not built from flat packages, but from checked data, technical pre-assessment and clearly itemized positions.
Planning basis
Official data as the first cross-check
Roof potential, irradiation and addresses are checked against GeoAdmin and BFE Sonnendach: the same datasets used by federal and cantonal bodies.
Property review
Final quote based on verified data
The initial estimate gives realistic orientation. For the final quote, we capture roof areas, access and technical conditions through a 3D survey (drone) and on-site review — precise, not based on satellite assumptions.
Electrical
Coordination by licensed professionals
From electrical planning through protection equipment to grid registration: all safety-critical steps are carried out by licensed electrical professionals, in-house or through vetted partners.
Quote
Itemized instead of a flat package
Every line item is shown individually instead of hidden in a flat package — so variants and ranges stay traceable from the start.
Execution standard
- Fall protection
- Waterproofing
- Electrical installation to standard
- Documentation
Regional clarification
Not every system follows the same logic in Appenzell Ausserrhoden.
In Switzerland, permits, grid operator, metering concept and incentive path always depend on the property, municipality and canton. These are exactly the points clarified early before a quote becomes binding.
That avoids a generic promise and creates a well-founded assessment that fits the region and the building.

Questions about your roof? We’ll go through them with you personally — the initial estimate is the easiest way in.
Building in focus
From roof surface to energy surface.
Full-black, in-roof or flat-roof: in Appenzell Ausserrhoden we plan not for a datasheet, but for a building that has to stand up architecturally and within its local context.
Transformation
Architecture first
Architecture, use and yield planned together.
In Appenzell Ausserrhoden, materiality, visual lines and technical details are aligned so the system fits the design language and performs cleanly over time.

Precision
Installation becomes visible before it has to be explained.
The system grows precisely into the building: tight penetrations, protected facade, modules sliding into the rails, and an aesthetic that fits the architecture instead of disturbing it.
Calm
Technology that stays calm after handover.
The inverter, registration and documentation are done, cable routes and labels stay traceable, and the roof becomes a calm, reliable energy source for everyday use.

Canton check
Solar system in Canton Appenzell Ausserrhoden: what matters regionally
Single-family homes, agricultural buildings and smaller commercial roofs need different mounting systems. Before quoting, we review roof membrane, cable routing, inverter location and possible scaffolding logic.
Canton Appenzell Ausserrhoden has its own rules for subsidies, permits and grid connection. We check them before quoting and record them in the project documentation.
Roof potential
For Canton Appenzell Ausserrhoden, we review orientation, pitch, shading and available module area for the specific building.
Grid & utility
Relevant grid operators in the canton: SAK (Netzbetreiber am Objekt prüfen). Metering concept and registration are clarified before execution.
Permit
The cantonal June 2024 guide distinguishes suitably adapted rooftop systems requiring notification from projects requiring a permit. Check listed-building and protected-area status before planning. The municipality determines the procedure.
Subsidies & taxes
For commissioning from September 2025, the cantonal contribution can reach 50% of the federal one-off payment, capped at CHF 100,000 per project. Apply after commissioning and the legally binding final Pronovo decision. Mandatory minimum generation capacity and systems receiving the high one-off payment are excluded.
