The 8 kWp scenario above uses the cantonal model assumptions: indicative output, 40 % self-consumption, hypothetical purchase and export tariffs, installed costs of CHF 2 200 to 2 800/kWp and assumed Pronovo support of CHF 360 to 400/kWp. It is not a local quote. Recalculate using your roof, hourly demand, contracts and confirmed grants; include fees, losses and replacements.

Your roof: Bussigny

For a detached house, check roof condition, shading and electrical capacity before signing. A single owner’s decision still requires a technical roof survey.

In all cases, the useful surface area is almost always less than the gross surface area announced. Skylights, chimneys, setbacks, shading and future maintenance needs must be integrated before talking about final power.

Check building protection and appearance requirements with the relevant authority. Confirm voltages, currents and module compatibility with the selected inverter.

Exposure and access: Bussigny

Request a survey of nearby shading and the horizon, with monthly generation estimates. Compare options for your building using the same weather data and loss assumptions.

Compare quotation items for the same scope of work and supply. Record who installs, inspects and supports each part of the system in the contract.

Full cost and grants: Bussigny

The displayed scenario uses an indicative installed cost for 8 kWp. A quote must specify equipment, roofing and electrical work, connection, inspections and fees before deducting confirmed grants.

Programmes depend on the municipality and available funds. Obtain written confirmation of amounts, timing, limits and combined support for your address before including them in the budget.

Specify the work assigned to subcontractors and who is responsible for each task. Confirm the supporting structure, anchor points and mounting design.

Output must be assessed for the actual roof, its orientation, shading and condition. Tariffs depend on the grid, product and contract; a cantonal average does not replace your bill.

Building procedures: Bussigny

Measure usable roof area with obstacles and required clearances included. Request a schedule that accounts for weather, access and team availability.

A serious estimate specifies who prepares the announcement, who manages the connection, who follows the administrative back and forth and how any comments are absorbed into the planning.

In the canton of Vaud, distinguish between Pronovo, municipal aid and Buildings Program if solar accompanies a renovation. If this timeline is poorly managed, you lose time and sometimes value on aids.

Simulate generation and available surplus before choosing a battery. Include maintenance, insurance and foreseeable replacements in lifetime cost.

Compare installers: Bussigny

When comparing installers, check the self-consumption assumptions. Then check the necessary changes to the electrical distribution board. These details matter more than the advertised price alone.

The quality gaps are quickly seen in the annexes: level of technical inspection, self-consumption assumptions, electrical diagram, service after commissioning and clarity of service limits.

Before choosing an installer, ask who attends the site after a fault, the travel charges and stated response time. A registered office address does not establish service availability for your building.

Assess shifting compatible loads to solar hours before adding storage. Include the constraints identified during the survey in the quotation.

Frequently asked questions: Bussigny

Prepare these questions about the roof, costs, storage and procedures before comparing offers.

What should I check during the roof survey?

Request a technical site survey before relying on a sales estimate. Include the constraints identified during the survey in the quotation.

How should I compare self-consumption and exports?

Compare avoided purchase costs and surplus export prices with your hourly demand. Self-consumption reduces purchases when generation is used on site; the choice also depends on full cost and losses.

How should I assess adding a battery?

First compare an option without storage for the same demand. Request the weather assumptions, losses and monthly results behind the stated output. Specify fall protection and access for installation and maintenance.

Which procedures should I confirm for this building?

The procedure depends on the plot, building and integration. Present the plan to the municipality to confirm notification or permit requirements and any protection constraints before ordering.

What should I request from installers?

When comparing installers, check a timetable stating the order of administrative steps. Then check a straightforward, reversible installation. These details matter more than the advertised price alone.
