Calculator — EIV deadline

Twelve months after commissioning. After that the entitlement is forfeited.

Enter the day of commissioning. The calculator names the last day by which the application for the one-off feed-in subsidy has to be with Pronovo — and the days left until then.

Input

The day the system was first put into operation.

EIV application to Pronovotwelve months

Enter the date of commissioning

The costlier mistake happens earlier

You register before commissioning, not after

The registration with the grid operator has to be out before the system goes into operation. Switch on first and register afterwards and the one-off feed-in subsidy is as a rule lost — on a system of around 10 kWp we are talking about roughly CHF 3'700 to 4'150. That is not an amount a business absorbs as a goodwill gesture, and it is not a mistake anyone wants to explain to a customer.

The rates for the one-off feed-in subsidy are adjusted periodically. The amount above is an order of magnitude, not an offer — Pronovo holds the current figures.

What this rests on

The one-off feed-in subsidy, the implementing body, the deadline

  • Basis: the Energy Act and the Energy Promotion Ordinance (EnFV, SR 730.03) — the one-off feed-in subsidy for solar PV systems.
  • Implementing body: Pronovo AG. That is where the application is filed, assessed and paid out.
  • Deadline: the application must be filed within twelve months of commissioning. After that the entitlement is forfeited.
  • Before that: registration with the grid operator before commissioning, and a safety verification certificate for the installation as with any extension.

A guide, not a substitute for judging the individual case

Subsidy rates, categories and procedures for the one-off feed-in subsidy are adjusted, and what applies to your application is the version held at Pronovo — not the version on this page. Check the deadline and the rates with Pronovo, or against the current version of the EnFV, before you file.

Next

If the twelve months should run alongside by themselves

A solar PV system brings a registration, a commissioning, a safety verification certificate and an EIV application with it — four dates on one property, three of them with a deadline.

Shall we let you know before it falls due?

That is exactly what elektro.box does in the business: it keeps the installations with their intervals and their deadlines and speaks up while the matter can still be put right. There is no form for that on this page — your result is above, whether you write to us or not.
