Self-consumption
What a self-consumed kWh is worth in Realp
On the standard tariff of Elektrizitätswerk Ursern, a purchased kWh costs 18.12 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 2.03 ct below last year (24.70 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 Realp, 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 Realp delivers in winter
Suitable roofs in Realp could produce 5.9 GWh of solar power per year, 29% of it between October and March. Adding façades raises the potential to 8.8 GWh and the winter share to 33%: 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 Realp has come with solar
The federal plant register lists 8 photovoltaic systems in Realp with a combined 115 kW. Since January 2025, 3 systems with 28 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 770 watts — rank 7 of 19 municipalities in the Canton of Uri.

Figures with sources
Solar in Realp: 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 Uri is around 1100 kWh/m² per year. Whether that works on your roof in Realp 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 Elektrizitätswerk Ursern, every kWh shifted this way is worth 18.12 ct instead of a feed-in payment of at least 6 ct — up to CHF 121 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 Realp, the connection conditions are set by Elektrizitätswerk Ursern.

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.

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 Realp.
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.
Components by
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.

CFA · former KPMG Senior Manager
Co-Founder · Strategy & Finance
Independent management consultant since 2015, previously Senior Manager at KPMG. Most recently Interim Treasury Manager at an energy storage manufacturer. Christian brings the financial structure: liquidity planning, transparent calculations and no project whose numbers don’t add up.
Marc Hammerschmidt

Co-Founder · Engineering & Planning
Marc handles the technical side: planning, structural analysis, system integration and execution that remains traceable a decade later. An engineering mindset means no improvisation, only well-reasoned solutions for every roof.

Municipality check
Solar system in Realp: 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.
Realp belongs to Canton Uri. We therefore combine the local roof assessment with cantonal requirements for subsidies, permits, grid connection and documentation.
Roof potential
Canton Uri guideline: approx. 1100 kWh/m² global irradiation per year.
Grid & utility
Grid operator in Realp according to ElCom: Elektrizitätswerk Ursern. Metering concept and registration are clarified before execution.
Permit
Uri enables flexible solutions for alpine buildings. Standard notification procedure for normal roof systems. For large alpine systems: Solarexpress procedure (accelerated since 2022). Sidenplangg project received building permit for large alpine system.
Subsidies & taxes
Uri Energy Funding Programme 2026 (budget ~CHF 2.1m): winter-electricity PV bonus CHF 1,000 flat + CHF 250/kW for steeply tilted systems (60–90 degrees), max. CHF 50,000/project, on top of the Pronovo one-time payment. New in 2026: bidirectional charging stations CHF 2,000 flat. Apply before implementation via portal.dasgebaeudeprogramm.ch/ur. Plus the full tax deduction.
