Photovoltaics
With more than 15,000 photovoltaic systems installed and over 250 MW of total capacity, Conversio Energie is one of Austria's experienced PV installers. Whether for a detached house, farm or commercial property, our team plans and installs your system from the first consultation through to commissioning, serving Europe from 16 locations.
Photovoltaics for homes, businesses and agriculture
Electricity needs vary by property and use. That is why we develop tailored solutions, analysing your actual consumption, available space and goals on site.
For private households
A photovoltaic system for a detached house supplies enough solar electricity to cover a large share of annual demand. Combined with battery storage, the self-consumption rate can rise to as much as 80 percent.
For commerce and industry
Higher consumption means greater potential savings. Commercial PV systems often pay for themselves faster than residential ones because the generated electricity is used directly in business processes, replacing expensive grid electricity.
For agriculture
Farms benefit particularly from large roof areas and comparatively high daytime consumption. We plan conventional rooftop installations as well as agrivoltaic systems that combine agricultural land use with electricity generation.
For municipalities and public facilities
Schools, municipal buildings and public facilities can permanently reduce operating costs with photovoltaic systems and make a measurable contribution to the local energy transition.
From consultation to commissioning
A PV project involves several consecutive steps. Our team guides you through each one.
Consultation and site analysis
We assess roof orientation, tilt, shading and your current consumption. The result is a specific system proposal with a yield calculation and financial forecast.
Planning and permits
We handle the technical planning, clarify the grid connection and notification requirements with the relevant grid operator, and coordinate the necessary administrative steps.
Installation
Our installation teams work throughout Austria. For a typical home with a system of up to 10 kWp, installation usually takes two to three days.
Commissioning and acceptance
After installation, a licensed electrician checks the entire system and prepares the required inspection report. We coordinate the registration process with the grid operator for you.
Monitoring
Various monitoring platforms let you keep track of your system at all times. Yield, system status and individual components can be viewed in real time. We detect deviations early and can respond remotely.
Photovoltaics with battery storage
A PV system generates the most electricity when it is needed least: during the day, when most households and businesses use less electricity than in the evening. Battery storage shifts this surplus to the evening and night.
Appropriately sized storage can significantly increase the share of self-generated electricity used on site. Some system configurations also offer a backup power function that takes over automatically during grid outages.
Conversio plans the storage and photovoltaic system together so that capacities and inverter technology are coordinated. If you start without storage, it can be added later, provided the system has been prepared accordingly.
As a member of the Conversium BEG energy community, you can trade surplus solar electricity that is neither used on site nor stored within the community at transparent, stable tariffs.
Photovoltaic subsidies in Austria
In 2026, direct investment grants are again available nationwide for new and expanded PV systems under the Renewable Energy Expansion Act (EAG). Almost all federal states also offer their own funding programmes, with conditions and grant rates that vary by region.
During your initial consultation, our advisory team will explain which subsidies are currently available for your location and guide you through the application.
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to install a photovoltaic system?
For a detached house with a system of up to 10 kWp, installation usually takes two to three days. Larger commercial and ground-mounted systems take longer, depending on system size and roof conditions.
How much electricity does a PV system generate in Austria?
A 5 kWp system in Austria generates an annual average of between 4,500 and 5,500 kWh, depending on location, roof orientation and tilt. Our planning team prepares a site-specific yield calculation for you.
Do I need a permit for my PV system?
In Austria, systems of up to 1,000 kWp do not require approval under electricity legislation. However, building requirements vary by federal state and system type. We clarify the applicable regulations before planning.
How long does a photovoltaic system last?
High-quality photovoltaic modules have a service life of 25 to 30 years. Most manufacturers guarantee at least 80 percent of the original rated output after 25 years.
What happens to surplus electricity?
Electricity that is neither used on site nor kept in storage can be fed into the public grid and paid for through a feed-in tariff. Alternatively, it can be traded within an energy community.
How much does a photovoltaic system cost?
For a detached house with a 5 kWp system, total costs are typically between EUR 7,000 and EUR 12,000, depending on roof conditions, components and battery storage.
