Registration of your Plug & Play solar system
Balcony power plants, also known as plug-and-play solar systems, are an easy way to generate environmentally friendly solar power directly from your balcony. To ensure that your system can be operated safely and in compliance with regulations, it is necessary to register it with the local grid operator before commissioning. Below you can find out how to register your plug-and-play system with Primeo Energie, EKZ and other grid operators.

Registration with other grid operators
The following applies to all other grid operators in Switzerland:
- Download the declaration of conformity: Ensure that your Plug and Play solar system meets the requirements of the Ordinance on Low-Voltage Electrical Products (NEV; SR 734.26).

Feed-in tariff
You can also feed surplus electricity into the grid with other grid operators and receive remuneration. Ask your grid operator about the exact conditions. You need a smart meter for the feed-in tariff. After registration, the grid operator will check whether a meter change is necessary, which is free of charge for you.
Registering your plug-and-play solar system is a necessary step to ensure that your system is operated safely and in compliance with the regulations. By following the relevant registration procedures with your grid operator, you can not only fulfil legal requirements but also benefit from possible feed-in tariffs. If you have any questions or uncertainties, contact your local grid operator to ensure a smooth registration process.
