Typical PRU
After commissioning
The RU is paid after commissioning. Its amount depends on the date, power, type of installation and applicable criteria. For typical small PV installations, the file is submitted or finalized after completion with the commissioning documents; major projects and local aid may follow another schedule.
Use the Pronovo tariff calculator for the up-to-date amount, then check separately for municipal, cantonal or building aid applicable to the address. Do not deduct local aid from the budget without official or written confirmation.

Prepare the data from the quote, then finalize the PRU after commissioning with the required documents. The contract must specify who follows the file: owner, installer or mandated third party.
Pronovo is not a commercial installer label. The file can be submitted by the operator or a mandated third party. Separately check electrical permits, insurance, references and contractual responsibilities.
It is generally treated as a contribution to the investment and reduces the costs actually incurred. The precise treatment depends on the canton and your situation.
