Quality solar systems in Glarus

Solar systems in Glarus require coordinated planning between roof, electrical and grid operator. That is exactly what we deliver – headquartered in Zurich with projects across German-speaking Switzerland.

Swiss facts

Residential·Commercial

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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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 Glarus.

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.

The Founders

Engineering depth. Financial structure.

You know before signing who calculates your project and who builds it. Behind that are two founders with two areas of expertise — engineering and finance — and the conviction that a solar system only works long-term when both fit together from the start.

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 Glarus 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 Glarus, materiality, visual lines and technical details are aligned so the system fits the design language and performs cleanly over time.

Full-BlackIndachFlachdach
Substance01

The roof leads, not the sales graphic.

Mounting, waterproofing, shading and electrical work are clarified on the actual building — not on a model.

Precision02

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.

Calm03

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.

Clarity before commitment

Answers before you decide.

The key points are explained clearly, factually and without artificial urgency. For details, we assess your property in its project context.

Municipality check

Solar system in Glarus: what matters locally

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.

Glarus belongs to Canton Glarus. We therefore combine the local roof assessment with cantonal requirements for subsidies, permits, grid connection and documentation.

Roof potential

Canton Glarus guideline: approx. 1050 kWh/m² global irradiation per year.

Grid & utility

Relevant grid operators in the canton: TBGN. Metering concept and registration are clarified before execution.

Permit

Normal notification procedure. In narrow alpine valleys with short sun windows, facade systems (75-90°) are preferred and often have simplified permits. Tourism infrastructure: hotels and mountain restaurants with special rules.

Subsidies & taxes

CHF 250/kW winter PV bonus supports facade strategy. TBGN: from 2026 quarterly market price, minimum 6 Rp./kWh guaranteed. No additional cantonal subsidies, but targeted winter electricity focus.

Core services

Services with a real focus on Glarus

The key services, tailored directly to Glarus and the local requirements in your region.

As a mountain canton, Glarus relies on combining hydropower and solar for year-round renewable supply. TBGN (Technische Betriebe Glarus Nord) operates its own hydroelectric plants (~32 GWh) and takes in over 3.3 GWh/year from local PV systems – with enhanced compensation for systems ≤30 kVA. South-facing slopes deliver up to 15% higher PV yields than lowland locations.

View service

In Canton Glarus, solar power fills the seasonal gaps of hydropower: when winter water levels drop, PV systems on south-facing slopes reliably deliver electricity. TBGN compensates small systems ≤30 kVA at higher tariffs with a guaranteed minimum of 6 Rp./kWh. This water-sun synergy requires project management that considers grid capacity and seasonal load profiles.

View service

In Canton Glarus, flat roofs on commercial buildings and multi-family homes represent the largest untapped solar area. The Glarus energy law is based on MuKEn 2014. New buildings must cover part of their electricity demand from renewable sources. At the 2021 Landsgemeinde, the energy law was significantly tightened.
