Grants and subsidies
The advertised price of an installation is not what you pay. Three schemes add up, and they change the calculation radically.
The federal grant (Pronovo)
The one-off payment is made by the Confederation, in proportion to the installed power. We prepare the application for you.
The cantonal grant
Each canton sets its own rules and its own amounts. This is the item that varies most from one address to another.
The tax deduction
The investment is deductible from taxable income. The real saving depends on your tax bracket: it arrives the following year, with your tax assessment.
| Canton | Federal grant | Cantonal or municipal grant | Tax deduction |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vaud | Pronovo | Depends on the municipality | Yes, depending on income |
| Geneva | Pronovo | Depends on the municipality | Yes, depending on income |
| Valais | Pronovo | Depends on the municipality | Yes, depending on income |
| Fribourg | Pronovo | Depends on the municipality | Yes, depending on income |
| Bern | Pronovo | Depends on the municipality | Yes, depending on income |
| Zurich | Pronovo | Depends on the municipality | Yes, depending on income |
The simulator only calculates the federal Pronovo grant. Cantonal and municipal grants depend on your municipality and your grid operator, and the tax deduction on your income: they are estimated during the technical visit. The quote issued after the visit prevails.
