What is this section for?
This archive page gathers the in-depth content related to Solar. Its role is to help readers move through funding, vocabulary and decision logic in the right order instead of revisiting the same question across multiple pages.
Each guide should do a different job: explain the subsidy framework, position Pronovo, clarify cantonal differences or untangle technical ideas such as self-consumption and batteries.
- start with the guide that matches the real question
- return to the project page when broader context is needed
- then verify Pronovo or local aid logic separately
Guides
Cantonal, municipal and utility incentives for solar: how do you check them?
Local solar incentives do not follow the same logic as Pronovo. This guide explains how to identify whether support belongs to the canton, the municipality, or the utility, in what order to verify it, which territorial signals require a finer check, and how to avoid publishing a misleading cumulative benefit claim.
How do you connect a solar project with Pronovo?
Pronovo should be treated as a programme layer inside a broader solar project, not as the parent of the topic. This article clarifies the editorial and user-journey boundary: the solar page keeps strategy, local support, self-consumption, batteries and network logic; Pronovo keeps the federal one-off remuneration framework, eligibility, timing and filing logic. The goal is to avoid duplication while making the path to the dossier easier to read.
Self-consumption, batteries and solar subsidies: what do you actually need to understand?
This article separates three layers that are often confused in solar projects: self-consumption, battery storage and grid injection. It explains how collective models such as RCP/ZEV change the reading of the project and its support, and when the reader should move from concept-level understanding to a procedure or glossary term.
What subsidies exist for solar photovoltaics in Switzerland?
Orientation page for Swiss solar projects: map the main aid layers around a photovoltaic system, explain why Pronovo only answers part of the question, distinguish federal, cantonal, municipal and utility-level support, and guide the reader toward the right verification order and the more specific pages once the case becomes concrete.
