Solar installer fixing photovoltaic panels on the tiled roof of a Swiss family house

  • Intended use: photovoltaic electricity or solar thermal heat; electricity consumption and major loads, or hot-water demand and the existing system, as applicable
  • Interest in a battery storage system, a charging point or solar hot water
  • Roof access, building height and preferred timeframe; distribution board for photovoltaics, or storage space and hot-water or heating connections for solar thermal

Your project in the canton of Geneva

For a project in Geneva, give the municipality and postcode, the rooms or building elements involved and the outcome you want. Describe the actual access: floor, lift, vehicle approach, parking and space for deliveries. Say whether the home or business premises will remain in use during the work. In a rented property or condominium, identify which areas are private and which are shared, and who coordinates decisions about them. If the project changes the exterior or concerns a protected building, check the applicable requirements with the competent authority before starting. Photos, existing plans and any approval documents already available help define the work without assumptions about a neighbourhood’s buildings.

  • In a rental building or condominium, say whether the property management company or the co-owners have already given their agreement.
  • For a flat in town, give the floor, whether there is a lift and what parking is available.
  • For a villa in the Geneva countryside, describe access to the garden if machinery needs to get in.

Solar installations in the canton of Geneva

In Geneva, most residents are tenants, and solar projects often go through the property management company or the condominium owners: flat roofs of apartment buildings, covered car parks and office buildings. Villas in Cologny and the Geneva countryside readily host panels combined with a heat pump. In the large housing estates of Meyrin or Vernier, a consumer group allows residents to benefit from electricity produced on site. In the old town and in protected areas, architectural integration matters a great deal. Every situation deserves to be checked with the municipality before installation, so that the project goes ahead smoothly.

  • If you live in a condominium, have the project placed on the agenda of the annual owners' meeting.
  • For a villa, ask for a comparison between panels on their own and panels combined with a battery.

Frequently asked questions

What should I check before installing solar panels in Geneva?

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.
