After the analysis, you will receive online access to your free solar evaluation by mail.
Basierend auf Ihrem Standort kann unser Solarrechner bereits einschätzen, ob sich eine oder mehrere Dachflächen Ihrer Immobilie für eine Solaranlage eignen. Compatibility with a photovoltaic system is primarily determined by solar radiation, roof orientation, inclination, shading, and roof size.
Solar systems combined with high self-consumption often pay for themselves after 15 to 20 years. Our Solar Calculator analyzes the profitability of a PV system for you. If the roof is suitable for a photovoltaic system, the question often arises: Is the investment worth it? From a purely ecological point of view, this question can always be answered with a yes. From an economic point of view, the costs (acquisition costs, operating costs), the subsidy contributions, the local electricity prices, the local feed-in tariffs, self-consumption etc., are decisive. Our Solar Calculator calculates the amortization period and shows you neutrally whether the investment is worthwhile.
A normal solar power system for an average single-family home in Switzerland costs around CHF 15,000 after subsidies and tax savings.
The higher the self-consumption and the proportion of solar energy produced in the total energy requirements, the faster the solar system pays for itself.
Green, sustainable energy
They produce climate-friendly electricity and contribute to a better environment.
Increased property value
The value of your home is significantly increased by a solar installation on the roof.
Subsidies & deductible costs
The federal government supports the purchase of solar systems with approximately 20 % subsidies. The investment costs can also be deducted from taxes in most cantons.
Lower electricity costs
Solar power from your own roof is cheaper than power from the public grid. You can permanently reduce your electricity costs by 30%.
Autonomous power production
With your own solar system, you become self-sufficient and are less affected when electricity price increases.
Become a power entrepreneur
They generate income by feeding solar power into the grid. In most cases, the initial investment for a solar system pays for itself over its entire lifetime.
Our digital Solar Calculator combines different databases, so you can get an all-in-one result. Based on your location, we calculate the solar potential of the house.
The data you enter is sufficient to provide you with a first estimate of the annual electricity production and consumption as well as the costs. This enables you to assess whether a photovoltaic system is a sensible investment for you and your needs.
We are an independent, young Swiss company and are financed by partners and investors. We develop all our tools ourselves - the results are based on Open Data.
Data security is our top priority. Your data will never be passed on to third parties without your permission. You always decide for yourself when you want to share what information with whom.
We exclusively work with selected and certified regional Swiss real estate experts and craftsmen in order to meet your quality requirements.

Data protection and security are our top priority. That's why we leave nothing to chance. To ensure the protection of your personal data and secure data transmission, we work with the latest security technologies. Your data is stored in encrypted form in a computer centre that is certified with all current industry standards. Data is therefore only passed on to third parties if you request service offers via Houzy that require this. An example of this is when you actively contact one of our broker partners.

An average single-family home consumes 4,000 to 5,000 kilowatt hours of electricity per year. A photovoltaic system would have to generate 8 to 10 kilowatt peak for this electricity consumption. Such systems cost around CHF 20,000 for modules, controls, inverters and installation. In return, you receive a one-off subsidy of 4,000 to 5,000 francs and save taxes thanks to the investment. These are only approximate values. You can use the Houzy solar calculator to calculate the solar potential, costs and subsidies.
From an ecological point of view, the answer to this question is always "yes". From an economic point of view, the answer depends on the acquisition and operating costs, subsidies, local electricity prices, the local feed-in tariff and self-consumption. Photovoltaic systems combined with a high level of self-consumption often pay for themselves after 15 to 20 years. The solar calculator from Houzy calculates the amortization period and shows you neutrally whether the investment is worthwhile.
Solar radiation, roof orientation, roof pitch, shading and roof size determine how suitable your roof is for a photovoltaic system. With the solar calculator from Houzy, you can find out in two minutes whether a solar system is worthwhile. You can also calculate all the costs, subsidies and tax savings and find out how quickly the investment will pay for itself.
The digital solar calculator from Houzy analyses the solar potential as well as the costs of a photovoltaic system with just a few entries - completely free of charge and without obligation. The analysis is based on all relevant criteria of a solar analysis and shows you the investment costs, operating costs, subsidies, tax savings, feed-in tariffs, etc. in detail. In just 2 minutes and after a few clicks, the solar calculator is ready and you can see all the relevant information about the photovoltaic system in an overview. The results are completely neutral - Houzy is an independent platform and does not pursue any third-party interests.
To find out whether your house is suitable for a photovoltaic system, we need the address. This allows us to obtain relevant information from publicly accessible databases and directories, such as the geographical location, roof area or roof orientation. Some key data about the house and your energy requirements help us to fine-tune the calculations. Afterwards, you will immediately receive online access to your digital solar analysis on Houzy by email.
Houzy is a start-up and finances itself by brokering third-party services and through advertising partnerships with national and regional partners. However, you as a user always decide for yourself when you want to share which data with whom, and thus always retain data sovereignty. The use of our solar calculator and the entire homeowner platform is permanently free of charge for you. However, if required, you can request free quotes for the installation of a photovoltaic system from one of our recommended tradesmen in your region.
Houzy is a young Swiss PropTech company with one goal: Making homeownership simple. The platform integrates user-friendly online tools such as the property valuation, the renovation calculator or the property gains tax calculator, which help to optimally manage private property and save effort and costs in the process. The scope of Houzy is constantly being expanded. You can find out more under About us.
