In Regensdorf, you are in the grid area of the EKZ. Fed-in solar power will be remunerated in 2026 according to the reference market price; because this is low (Q2 2026: 3.90 Rp./kWh), the minimum remuneration of 6.00 Rp./kWh applies for systems up to 30 kW – plus up to 3.00 Rp./kWh for the guarantee of origin, meaning currently around 9.00 Rp./kWh. There are no cantonal PV contributions – instead, there is the federal one-off feed-in incentive (around CHF 360 per kW) and the full tax deduction. (As of: July 2026)
Key points in brief
- The grid operator in Regensdorf, Watt and Adlikon is the EKZ – this determines your feed-in tariff.
- Current value: 6.00 Rp./kWh minimum remuneration plus up to 3.00 Rp./kWh for the guarantee of origin (around 9.00 Rp./kWh).
- The Canton of Zurich does not pay comprehensive PV incentives; the basis is formed by the federal one-off feed-in incentive and tax deduction.
- A separate municipal PV programme is currently not known in Regensdorf – incentives run via the federal government and taxes (check status on energiefranken.ch).
- Guideline cost value for a single-family home: around CHF 22,000–30,000 for a 10 kWp system (without obligation, the quote is decisive).
- East-west roofs are common in the Furttal – they deliver reliably distributed throughout the day, as our project in Watt shows.

What applies in Regensdorf: Grid operator, tariff and incentives at a glance?
Three location factors count for your system in Regensdorf – and they are clearly regulated here: The power grid is operated by the EKZ, cantonal PV incentives are the same as in the rest of the Canton of Zurich, and the federal contributions apply everywhere anyway. The good thing about it: few surprises, little research.
| Factor | In Regensdorf | Where to look it up |
|---|---|---|
| Grid operator / feed-in tariff | EKZ, market price model | Feed-in tariff EKZ |
| Cantonal PV incentive | none direct (as across the canton) | Incentives Canton of Zurich |
| Federal incentive | One-off feed-in incentive ~CHF 360/kW (integrated 400) | The one-off incentive explained |
| Tax deduction | fully deductible (existing buildings) | Solar system tax deduction |
| Municipal contribution | postcode check needed | energiefranken.ch |
Guideline values, as of: July 2026. The current provisions, or an individual quote, are binding.
How is your solar power remunerated in Regensdorf?
Via the EKZ – and they have switched to a market price model in 2026. Instead of a fixed Rappen rate, the basic remuneration is based on the quarterly federal reference market price. This fluctuates strongly and is currently low: in the second quarter of 2026 at around 3.90 Rp./kWh. Anyone who transfers the guarantee of origin to the EKZ receives up to 3.00 Rp./kWh on top.
You are protected on the downside: For systems up to 30 kW – i.e. practically every single-family home in the Furttal – a minimum remuneration of 6.00 Rp./kWh applies. Because the market price is currently below this, that is exactly the decisive value: currently 6.00 Rp./kWh plus up to 3.00 Rp./kWh for the guarantee of origin, together around 9.00 Rp./kWh.
What this means for planning: Calculate profitability over the annual average, not over the best quarterly value. And gear the system towards high self-consumption – every self-used kilowatt hour is worth more than every fed-in one. We explain the complete mechanics in the EKZ tariff article.
What incentives do you get in Regensdorf?
The most reliable source is the federal government: The one-off feed-in incentive (EIV) via Pronovo is currently around CHF 360 per kW for attached systems under 30 kW (roof-integrated systems: CHF 400 per kW). For a typical 10 kW system, that is a good CHF 3,600 – independent of location and not budgeted, anyone who meets the requirements and submits the application cleanly receives the amount.
The Canton of Zurich does not pay a direct contribution to photovoltaics; its incentive funds flow into heating replacement and building envelopes. This is not a disadvantage of Regensdorf, but is the case canton-wide. In return, the tax deduction is generous: The investment in an existing building can be deducted from income for cantonal and federal taxes. For middle and higher incomes, this effect is often greater than any municipal subsidy.
That leaves the municipality. A separate municipal PV programme in Regensdorf is not known according to the current status – incentives run here via the federal government and taxes. However, programmes can change; check your address updated daily on energiefranken.ch. With every quote, we undertake this clarification anyway.
The current regulations of Pronovo or the municipality are authoritative. As of: July 2026.
What does a solar system cost in Regensdorf?
In terms of price, Regensdorf does not differ from the rest of the Unterland – the costs depend on your roof, not on the postcode. As a rough orientation for a single-family home:
| System size | Cost guideline (turnkey, incl. VAT) | Suitable for |
|---|---|---|
| 6 kWp | CHF 16,000–21,000 | smaller single-family home, moderate consumption |
| 10 kWp | CHF 22,000–30,000 | typical single-family home with heat pump/EV |
| with battery (10 kWp + ~10 kWh) | surcharge CHF 7,000–11,000 | high self-consumption, backup power desired |
Guideline values incl. installation and connection, as of: July 2026, non-binding; the individual quote is decisive. Details: Solar system costs and 10 kWp system.
What moves the price in practice are the roof shape and mounting type (on-roof or in-roof), the number of modules, any battery and additional work such as scaffolding or a new meter box. Whether the investment pays off at your location depends above all on self-consumption – the honest assessment of this: Is a solar system worth it?
Is your roof in the Furttal suitable at all?
Usually yes – and often better than the owners think. In Regensdorf, Watt and Adlikon, single-family homes from the 1960s to 1990s with gable and pitched roofs dominate, along with apartment buildings with flat roofs in the newer neighbourhoods. Pure south-facing roofs are the minority here; many houses have an east-west ridge.
That is not an exclusion criterion, on the contrary. An east-west roof delivers in the morning and evening – i.e. when electricity is actually used in the household. For self-consumption, this is often more favourable than the midday peak of a south-facing roof. Whether your specific roof has enough area and sun can be seen as a first approximation on sonnendach.ch; the rest is clarified by the site visit.
In Watt (Regensdorf), we commissioned a system on Haldenstrasse in early 2024 that shows exactly this Furttal roof type: a single-family home with an east-west orientation, around 22.7 kWp on 56 modules, combined with a large battery of around 20 kWh and an emergency power function. The east-west configuration distributes the yield over the day, the battery pushes evening consumption into your own sunny hours – and in the event of a grid failure, the house remains supplied. We see such roofs frequently in the Furttal; the decisive factor is not the perfect south-facing position, but the clean design of the module field, inverter and consumption.
Frequently asked questions
Which grid operator is responsible for Regensdorf?
The EKZ (Canton of Zurich Electricity Utilities). They determine your feed-in tariff and handle the grid connection. The remuneration follows the market price model with a minimum remuneration of 6.00 Rp./kWh (up to 30 kW), plus up to 3.00 Rp./kWh for the guarantee of origin – currently around 9.00 Rp./kWh.
Are there municipal incentives for solar systems in Regensdorf?
According to the current status, Regensdorf does not run its own municipal PV programme; incentives run via the federal government (one-off feed-in incentive) and tax deduction. Programmes can change – check your postcode on energiefranken.ch.
Is a solar system worth it in Regensdorf despite the market price tariff?
In most cases yes. Profitability arises primarily from self-consumption and the one-off feed-in incentive, less from feeding in. A battery or targeted charging of the heat pump and e-car noticeably increase self-consumption.
What does a 10 kWp system cost in Regensdorf?
As a guideline value, around CHF 22,000–30,000 turnkey incl. VAT (as of July 2026, without obligation). The exact price depends on the roof, mounting type and additional work – only the quote after the site visit is binding.
Is an east-west roof suitable for solar?
Yes. East-west roofs deliver electricity in the morning and evening and therefore fit well with the daily routine of a household. The annual yield is slightly below an optimal south-facing roof, but the distribution is often more favourable for self-consumption.
