Why energy management with ecoEn?

How your energy management is set up

From the first conversation to configured control – the process depends on your existing components.

  1. InventoryWe check which components – photovoltaics, storage, heat pump, wallbox – are already in place and what is to be added.
  2. Choice of systemWe recommend an energy manager that is compatible with your existing devices.
  3. QuoteTransparently itemised, including installation and set-up.
  4. Installation & set-upConnection to your system, app configuration and initial control rules.
  5. Instruction & handoverWe show you how to use it – after that, we remain your point of contact.

What does an energy management system cost?

The price depends on scope and system – from a simple consumption display to automated control of several devices. For a widely used manufacturer-independent system, the items look like this:

ItemGuidelineNote
Energy manager (device)approx. CHF 600–900Example: Solar Manager, market prices from Swiss retailers
Software subscriptionCHF 44–66 per yeardepending on features; first year included
Integration & configurationbased on effortNumber of devices and manufacturer interfaces

Guideline values as of July 2026, based on manufacturer and retailer information – other systems may be cheaper or more expensive; some inverters already include simple energy management. The quote for your system is decisive.

An assessment of common systems can be found in the energy manager comparison; we clarify which control suits your components in the free consultation.

Further guides on energy management

One system for solar, storage, heat pump and wallbox

Energy management unfolds its value in combination: with the photovoltaic system as the source, battery storage for the evening and a heat pump or wallbox as a large consumer. Because we plan and install all trades ourselves, we match the control to them from the start.

What our quote includes – and what it doesn't

The most common worry before signing isn't the price but the question of what gets added at the end. That's why we show both.

Included: planning and design, materials (modules, inverter, mounting system, cabling), scaffolding, installation, the electrical connection by our own specialist company, commissioning and measurement, registration with the grid operator and the incentive application to Pronovo – we submit it for you.

Shown separately: anything added in individual cases appears as its own item in the quote, not in a lump sum. The most common case: if the existing meter distribution board – the fuse box – is not suitable for the system and needs to be adapted, we invoice this separately. Depending on the property, official fees and work provided by the client may also apply.

Payment in stages, linked to project progress. Under our terms and conditions (AGB), that's 30% on placing the order, 50% on delivery of the main components and 20% after commissioning and acceptance. We agree different terms on a project basis; the arrangement in your quote always applies.

Who is liable for what

After the company bankruptcies in the Swiss solar industry, this is the question that counts in the end – and it has three different answers:

  • Product and performance warranties lie with the manufacturer of the modules, inverter and storage. A manufacturer's warranty is only ever as reliable as the manufacturer behind it – that's why, when choosing products, we also consider who will still be reachable if something goes wrong.
  • The installation warranty lies with us: installation, electrical work, commissioning. That's the part we honour directly.
  • Business liability insurance: as an installation company, we carry liability insurance.

In the event of a fault, you have one point of contact – us – regardless of whose component is affected.

We check your existing components and recommend a suitable system – without obligation and manufacturer-independent.

QUESTIONS

Questions about smart home

An energy manager shows production and consumption in real time and can control consumers automatically. It makes most sense if you want to coordinate several components – such as storage, heat pump and wallbox – precisely.
That depends on the components and manufacturers already in place. We choose a system manufacturer-independently that is compatible with your installation.
Yes, many energy managers can align consumers with current solar yield. We clarify in the consultation whether and how this makes sense for your system.
For a widely used manufacturer-independent system, the device costs around CHF 600–900, plus a software subscription of CHF 44–66 per year (as of July 2026) and integration by the specialist company. Some inverters already include simple energy management. The quote for your system gives the exact figure.
In many cases, yes – an energy manager can often be retrofitted to an existing photovoltaic system. We check this for your situation.
No. Even without storage, an energy manager helps increase self-consumption – for example by running the wallbox or heat pump specifically when there's solar yield.
Yes. The initial consultation and quote are free and without obligation.
