Self-consumption
What a self-consumed kWh is worth in Fischingen
On the standard tariff of Genossenschaft Elektra Vogelsang, a purchased kWh costs 21.50 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 0.98 ct below last year (26.23 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 Fischingen, self-consumed power is therefore worth up to 3.6 times as much as exported power — which is why the share of solar power used in the house matters most.

How much solar power Fischingen delivers in winter
Suitable roofs in Fischingen could produce 35.8 GWh of solar power per year, 28% of it between October and March. Adding façades raises the potential to 47.8 GWh and the winter share to 30%: 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 Fischingen has come with solar
The federal plant register lists 248 photovoltaic systems in Fischingen with a combined 6.8 MW. Since January 2025, 29 systems with 519 kW 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 2,247 watts — rank 30 of 80 municipalities in the Canton of Thurgau.

Figures with sources
Solar in Fischingen: 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 Thurgau is around 1120 kWh/m² per year. Whether that works on your roof in Fischingen 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 Genossenschaft Elektra Vogelsang, every kWh shifted this way is worth 21.50 ct instead of a feed-in payment of at least 6 ct — up to CHF 155 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 Fischingen, the connection conditions are set by Genossenschaft Elektra Vogelsang or Genossenschaft Energie Fischingen.

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 Fischingen.
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 Fischingen: 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.
Fischingen belongs to Canton Thurgau. We therefore combine the local roof assessment with cantonal requirements for subsidies, permits, grid connection and documentation.
Roof potential
Canton Thurgau guideline: approx. 1120 kWh/m² global irradiation per year.
Grid & utility
Grid operator in Fischingen according to ElCom: Genossenschaft Elektra Vogelsang, Genossenschaft Energie Fischingen. Metering concept and registration are clarified before execution.
Permit
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.
Subsidies & taxes
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.
