Market your solar power profitably. We optimise your revenue streams.

ZEV earns more per kWh Grid feed-in yields only 3.9–10.3 Rp./kWh depending on the quarter of 2026. In our project experience, a ZEV achieves 15–22 Rp./kWh.
Secure plannable revenue ZEV secures plannable revenue for the full installation lifetime, ideal for sites with several consumers. vZEV (since 2025) connects several plots on the same service line through the grid operator's smart meters.
Fixed prices via PPA Power Purchase Agreements guarantee fixed off-take prices over 5–10 years for large consumers from around 3 GWh annual consumption. Maximum planning security for long-term balance sheet planning.
Professional portfolio management We take over forecast optimisation based on weather data, balancing energy market participation and monthly revenue reporting in full.
201 installations, market knowledge 53.7 MWp installed capacity from 201 installations (as of 2026-10). We know the Swiss energy markets from practice and recommend the optimal marketing mix for your installation.

Industrial and commercial PV installations frequently generate more power than the operation itself consumes. Feeding this surplus into the grid without a strategy means lost revenue potential: since 2026 feed-in has earned the quarterly BFE reference market price (for solar electricity 10.3 Rp./kWh in the first and 3.9 Rp./kWh in the second quarter of 2026), which offers no planning security over a 20-year installation lifetime. For maximum economic viability, we structure your marketing strategy on a turnkey basis: from selecting the right marketing channel through to ongoing portfolio management.

Why your marketing strategy determines economic viability

Since 2025, Swiss energy law has opened new opportunities for actively marketing your solar power.

The revised Energy Act (EnG) with the Mantelerlass establishes binding minimum supply obligations for grid operators and extends the ZEV model to the virtual ZEV (vZEV) and the Local Electricity Community (LEG, since 1 January 2026). At the same time, spot market prices on EPEX SPOT (Swissix) vary strongly by season: the market value of solar is markedly higher in winter than in summer. The SFOE publishes the current figures every quarter in its table of reference market prices. Professional portfolio management is decisive.

3.9–10.3 Rp./kWh

Grid feed-in: quarterly BFE reference market price, varies by season

15–22 Rp./kWh

ZEV internal price: plannable revenue over the full installation lifetime

Whoever defines the marketing strategy today determines the economic performance of their installation for the next 20 years. We analyse your situation (installation size, self-consumption rate, grid area, risk appetite) and recommend the optimal combination of available channels.

The installation we planned and built for Balteschwiler AG in Laufenburg shows what is at stake. It delivers 3’091 kWp, generates 3’030 MWh a year and, after self-consumption, feeds 1.9 GWh into the grid. At that volume, 1 Rp./kWh more or less is worth CHF 19’000 a year.

Marketing channels compared

Six marketing options are available, individually or in combination. The right mix depends on your installation size, your location and your risk tolerance.

Which marketing channel suits your installation?

Feature	Status quo	With Ampere Dynamic
Typical yield (Rp./kWh)	3.9–10.3 (grid feed-in)	15–22 (ZEV) or exchange price by season, plus 1–4 (GO)
Planning security	Low: quarterly, based on the BFE reference market price	High: long-term contracts available
Minimum requirement	None	ZEV: site use; LEG: municipality; PPA: from around 3 GWh consumption
Administrative effort	Minimal	We handle portfolio management in full
Market price risk	None (but no upside either)	PPA: no risk; exchange: seasonal, with management
Best suited for	Small installations as a starting point	Industrial installations from ~100 kWp for active marketing

Your six marketing options in detail

Grid feed-in (3.9–10.3 Rp./kWh)
Starting point, or for residual volumes after self-consumption optimisation. Since 2026 the tariff follows the quarterly BFE reference market price (hourly from 2027).
ZEV (15–22 Rp./kWh)
The most attractive option for sites with several electricity consumers: you achieve 15–22 Rp./kWh, while your consumers pay less than for grid supply. Learn more
LEG: since 1 January 2026
Selling electricity over the public grid within a municipality, with a reduced grid usage charge. Ideal for producers without direct neighbours on the site. Learn more
Exchange trading at the spot price
Seasonal upside potential through spot market participation on EPEX SPOT (Swissix): the market value of solar is markedly higher in winter than in summer. Requires professional portfolio management.
PPAs (fixed prices, 5–10 years)
Power Purchase Agreements secure fixed off-take prices for large consumers from around 3 GWh annual consumption: maximum planning security.
Guarantees of origin, GO (+1–4 Rp./kWh)
A separate revenue stream, independent of the marketing channel you choose. Tradable via Pronovo, BUYECO or directly with energy suppliers.

Further information on ZEV, vZEV and LEG as the legal framework for site solutions is available on our ZEV & LEG solutions page. Details on the foundation, your PV installation, can be found under Photovoltaics for Industry & Commerce.

Our marketing process

How we manage your energy marketing

Analysis & strategy selection

We analyse your installation, self-consumption rate, grid area and risk appetite, and recommend the optimal marketing mix.

Load profile analysis and self-consumption rate
Comparison of grid feed-in vs ZEV vs PPA vs direct marketing
Economic viability calculation for each option

Contract structuring

We structure contracts with off-takers, grid operators and trading levels: legally sound and aligned with your installation's lifetime.

ZEV contracts with site users
PPA negotiation with commercial and industrial clients
Grid registration and feed-in tariff clarification

Technical integration

We integrate metering systems and smart meters that transparently capture feed-in volumes, self-consumption and marketing flows.

Smart meter integration for ZEV billing
Real-time monitoring of energy flows
Interface to the exchange trading platform

Ongoing portfolio management

We continuously optimise your feed-in volumes using weather forecasts, load profiles and market prices, and deliver monthly revenue reports.

Forecast optimisation based on weather data
Balancing energy market participation where technically eligible
Monthly reporting: revenues, market prices, economic performance

Your next step: calculate your marketing potential

The optimal marketing strategy depends on your specific situation. We analyse your potential, from installation size and self-consumption through to your grid area, and develop the most economically viable solution together with you. Request an initial consultation: Request quote.
