What this changes for your decision
Swissolar announces a transition to a state-of-the-art paper which will replace the VKF/AEAI note in 2027. This guide shows the elements to check in the quote and contract.
For your project, the item “AEAI transition” should be explained in terms of the building, consumption, grid connection and contract. Ask for the source, date and, for calculated values, the method used.
For your project: Record applicable fire requirements and their version in the file. Coordinate materials, cabling and any transitional rules with responsible specialists.
Three checks before signing
1. Feasibility
Check structure, roof condition, fire, access, connection and authorizations before ordering.
2. Perimeter
Distinguish between house, facade, large installation and special surface, because the procedures differ.
3. Decision date
Have rules, aids and technical proofs confirmed just before signing.

Compare quotes on a solid basis
Ask for a reference variant and a conservative variant. Each must separate investment, self-consumption, injection, aid, schedule and responsibilities. You will see if the result holds with a less favorable hypothesis.
For the item “AEAI transition”, the quote should state the data to confirm before work starts, who will check it and how changes will be handled.
Your next step
Prepare utility bill, roof information, existing contracts and comparable quotes. Answer in writing to open questions, then compare net price, annual profit and contractual consequences.
