Your project in the canton of Basel-Stadt
Basel-Stadt is an urban canton made up of the city of Basel and the municipalities of Riehen and Bettingen. On both banks of the Rhine, Grossbasel and Kleinbasel combine old townhouses, early twentieth-century apartment buildings and contemporary architecture. The old town, with its steep lanes and inner courtyards, can make vehicle access tricky. Greener Riehen has mainly villas, while hilltop Bettingen keeps a village feel. In such a dense setting, parking, scaffolding and rubble removal need forward planning. The local language is German, but your request can be written in English without difficulty. For any work on an old building or in the old town, check with your municipality beforehand. State the district or municipality, postcode and parking arrangements or access to the building's courtyard.
- In the old town, describe the width of the street and whether there is a lift.
- For a flat in a rental building, say whether the owner or the property management company has given their agreement.
- Mention whether there is space in the courtyard to store materials during the work.
Solar installations in the canton of Basel-Stadt
Basel-Stadt is a highly urban canton, and solar installations there mainly concern apartment buildings, flat roofs and properties in condominium ownership. Shared consumption among tenants of the same building is gaining ground, with electricity produced on the roof supplying the apartments directly. In the old town along the Rhine, pitched roofs and protected ensembles call for a discreet approach. In Riehen, villas with gardens allow more conventional systems, sometimes complemented by solar thermal collectors for hot water. Whether you are a property management company or a private owner in Basel, it pays to consult the municipality early in the project.
- For an apartment building, plan from the outset how the consumption of each flat will be metered.
- On an urban flat roof, combine the modules with a green roof if the structure allows it.

Frequently asked questions
What should I check before installing solar panels in Basel-Stadt?
Start by specifying photovoltaic electricity or solar thermal heat. Provide roof orientation, pitch, condition and any shading without climbing onto the roof. For photovoltaics, share electricity use and any battery or charging needs; for solar thermal, describe hot-water demand and the existing hot-water or heating system. Ask which roof checks are needed before equipment is selected.
Which documents help size a solar installation?
Share roof dimensions or plans and describe the intended use. For photovoltaics, provide electricity consumption and major loads such as a heat pump or electric vehicle; for solar thermal, provide hot-water demand and details of the existing system and storage space. Roof condition and shading need site assessment. Ask the installer to explain the sizing assumptions for the selected system.
What should I compare in solar installer quotes?
Compare the equipment and connections for the same type of system: modules, inverter and any battery for photovoltaics, or collectors, heat storage and hot-water or heating integration for solar thermal. Clarify mounting, roof interfaces, monitoring, documentation and commissioning. Ask which procedures apply to your building and who handles them; do not assume eligibility for financial support.
How should I prepare for the solar installer visit or work?
Gather roof or building plans without climbing onto the roof and explain access restrictions. For photovoltaics, note the distribution board and possible cable routes; for solar thermal, identify the existing hot-water or heating equipment and available storage space. Ask the installer to assess connection routes. If roof repairs are planned, agree their sequence before solar equipment is ordered.
