Denne finansieringsmulighed er i øjeblikket beskrevet på engelsk.

The municipality pays a flat CHF 500 per photovoltaic installation on an eligible existing building. Photovoltaic panels generate electricity from sunlight.

Awards are voluntary and depend on the municipal annual budget, including its approval by citizens. Applications are processed in arrival order and there is no legal entitlement to a grant. Worben may change conditions and contribution rates at any time.

Eligibility

  • You must own the building or installation. It must be used all year and lie within the municipality of Worben. Measures must meet current technical standards.
  • The photovoltaic route covers existing buildings. Buildings and building-services installations count as existing when they were built more than five years ago. The building permit must date from before 2012. The installation must have at least 2 kWp of peak generating capacity, or approximately 15 m² of panels.
  • Buildings and installations with more than 50% public ownership are excluded. Installations completed in earlier years are also excluded.
  • Each applicant may receive one award per category per year, across at most two categories.

Vilkår for ansøgningsrunden
  • Awards depend on the municipal annual budget and its approval by citizens. Applications are processed in arrival order; there is no legal entitlement. Apply before work starts and wait for approval.

Submit the signed energy-grant application form with the required supporting documents to Gemeindeschreiberei Worben, Hauptstrasse 19, 3252 Worben. Apply before construction or implementation starts and wait for the grant approval before carrying out the project. The Sicherheits- und Umweltkommission Worben assesses applications; the municipality may request additional information and documents.

Approval is valid for 12 months from its date. Complete the project and submit the completion form and required documents before that period ends. For important reasons, an extension of one year may be granted if you apply in writing before expiry. If all conditions are fulfilled, payment follows within three months.

The municipality may inspect the work. If grant conditions are not met, it may deduct inspection costs from the contribution or cancel it.
