What does a 10 kWp PV system cost in Switzerland?
You want a sense of the budget before quotations start arriving. A 10 kWp installation is a useful example, but the price depends on the work needed on your roof and in your home, not just the number of panels.
Short answerShort answer
What does a 10 kWp PV system cost in Switzerland?
For 10 kWp, WattBilanz uses about CHF 23,300 in September 2026 including installation and VAT before incentives, with an indicative range of CHF 19,800–26,800.
An estimate gets you started; a quotation supports the decision
WattBilanz provides a planning starting point, not a binding price for your house. Roof access, the electrical installation and the scope of work can all affect a quotation. Compare the same finished installation across suppliers, rather than simply a similar number of panels.
Look at what the total includes
Are scaffolding, safety measures, connection work and registration included? Who provides the documents and commissions the system? These details help determine whether the quoted price will also be the final price. Show grants separately so the system’s cost and the support you expect remain easy to follow.
The key considerations
Compare total price and price per kWp, but also check scaffolding, fall protection, switchboard, grid connection, roof work, energy management and documentation. Pronovo and local incentives are deducted separately afterwards.
