Self-consumption
What a self-consumed kWh is worth in Baar
On the standard tariff of WWZ Energie AG, a purchased kWh costs 17.96 ct in 2027 excluding fixed and metering fees. That is roughly what every kWh of solar power saves when it is used in the house instead of being exported. The total price is 0.73 ct below last year (21.88 ct).
Exported power is paid at the quarterly reference market price; since 2026, systems below 30 kW are guaranteed a minimum of 6 ct/kWh. In Baar, self-consumed power is therefore worth up to 3.0 times as much as exported power — which is why the share of solar power used in the house matters most.
Winter power
How much solar power Baar delivers in winter
Suitable roofs in Baar could produce 131.9 GWh of solar power per year, 26% of it between October and March. Adding façades raises the potential to 182.4 GWh and the winter share to 28%: vertical surfaces make better use of the low winter sun.
For a house with a heat pump, this winter share is what matters: demand is highest in winter and self-consumption is most valuable. Whether a flatter or steeper layout pays off on your roof only becomes clear in the site assessment.
Uptake
How far Baar has come with solar
The federal plant register lists 475 photovoltaic systems in Baar with a combined 23.0 MW. Since January 2025, 79 systems with 3.5 MW have been added. The register covers all systems above 30 kVA, subsidised systems and voluntarily registered small systems; new systems often appear with a delay. Per resident that is 921 watts — rank 5 of 11 municipalities in the Canton of Zug.

Figures with sources
Solar in Baar: cost, size, storage.
Three questions decide almost every project before a roof is ever measured. Here they are with source and date, so it stays clear what each figure rests on.
Costs
What a system costs
Example: 5–10 kWp rooftop PV: CHF 13,500–27,000. 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.
Costs with calculation and sourcesSizing
Single-family home: the realistic size
A typical household using around 4,000 kWh per year needs roughly 25 m² of module area (Swissolar, February 2024). As a starting figure, global irradiation in Canton Zug is around 1120 kWh/m² per year. Whether that works on your roof in Baar depends on orientation, pitch and shading — not on the floor plan.
Two federal bonuses explicitly do not apply to a single-family home: the winter electricity bonus requires at least 100 kW, and the tilt bonus at least 75 degrees of pitch. Neither applies to an ordinary pitched roof. Counting on them makes the business case look better than it is.
Clarify notification and permission before installationStorage
Battery storage and self-consumption
Battery storage earns its money through self-consumption: it shifts solar power from midday into the evening. With WWZ Energie AG, every kWh shifted this way is worth 17.96 ct instead of a feed-in payment of at least 6 ct — up to CHF 120 per 1,000 kWh a year. Whether that covers the battery over its lifetime depends on your evening consumption.
Since 1 January 2025, an association for self-consumption (ZEV) may also use the existing connection lines. This makes apartment buildings and neighbourhood setups considerably cheaper, as no dedicated line is required. In Baar, the connection conditions are set by WWZ Energie AG.

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 Baar.
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.

Municipality check
Solar system in Baar: what matters locally
Many projects start with a rough roof idea. We translate it into a verifiable concept with layout plan, cable routes, safety logic and documented handover.
Baar belongs to Canton Zug. We therefore combine the local roof assessment with cantonal requirements for subsidies, permits, grid connection and documentation.
Roof potential
Canton Zug guideline: approx. 1120 kWh/m² global irradiation per year.
Grid & utility
Grid operator in Baar according to ElCom: WWZ Energie AG. Metering concept and registration are clarified before execution.
Permit
Solar obligation for replacement new buildings (min. 10 W/m² energy reference area, max 30 kW). Standard notification procedure for existing buildings. Ägerisee region: alpine special rules possible.
Subsidies & taxes
Solar obligation since 1.1.2023: All replacement new buildings min. 10 W/m² energy reference area, max 30 kW. No cantonal PV top-up; the federal one-time payment via Pronovo and the full tax deduction are decisive. WWZ remunerates at the BFE reference market price (quarterly) plus an HKN bonus.
