Announcing your solar installation is relatively simple: you simply need to inform your network manager of your new installation so that the energy production is correctly taken into account in your electricity bill.

You will need to submit your station's declaration of conformity (available above).

Procedures by network manager

Here is a non-exhaustive list of steps to follow with the main network managers:

1. Romande Energy

• Email: producer@romande-energie.ch
• Documents to attach: Declaration of conformity of your solar station
• Specify: If you wish to resell your production or favor self-consumption

2. SIG (Geneva Industrial Services)

• Email: se@sig-ge.ch
• Information to provide: Your full contact details in case SIG needs to contact you

3. Group E

• Email: info@geconnect.ch
• Information to provide: Your full contact details in case Group E needs to contact you

4. Oiken

• Telephone: 027 617 30 00
• Email: client@oiken.ch
• Subject: Announcement of your new acquisition

5. BKW

• Procedure: Online registration
• Link: Plug & Play photovoltaic installation (NEW) – BKW

6. Viteos

• Email: cmel@viteos.ch
• Information to provide: Your full contact details if necessary

⚠️ Important point

Remember to keep a copy of all your exchanges with network managers for future reference.

This documentation may be useful to you in case of questions or subsequent verifications.

Plug & Play photovoltaic systems consist of one or more solar modules, usually with a module inverter (micro-inverter) or a regulated inverter and a cable with plug for each.

As soon as the installation is in operation, the electricity produced directly supplies the building's electrical circuit and is directly consumed by the customer in the best case scenario.

Yes, you can install a Plug & Play photovoltaic system. Multiple Plug & Play photovoltaic installations can be installed.

However, the maximum power of 600 watts per meter circuit (= single-family house or apartment in a multi-family building) must not be exceeded.

The Plug & Play photovoltaic installation must comply with the requirements of the Federal Ordinance on Low-Voltage Electrical Equipment (OMBIT).

To find out whether a solar installation is authorized or not by the Confederation, contact the federal inspection of high current installations ESTI ( https://www.esti.admin.ch/ ), or inquire with the manufacturer of the installation.

Since the outlets work in both directions, the SunnyPlug station simply injects the solar electricity it produces into your home via the outlet. This solar electricity then immediately powers all your electrical appliances via your main switchboard.

According to the physical principle of electricity, your devices will in fact use solar electricity as a priority because it is the electricity that comes from the shortest path.

And if you produce electricity not consumed by your devices, this so-called surplus electricity will simply be injected into the network

The panels are very recyclable at 94% because they are made mainly of glass and aluminum.

Solar balconies are recommended by the Energy Office, particularly for tenants.

Just check your rental agreement to see if there is a specific clause that prohibits a privacy screen on the balcony.

Because our solar panel is comparable to a conventional privacy screen. You won't need permission for that, will you?

And if you move, you remove your installation without leaving a trace and take it with you.
