Are alpine PV systems the solution for the energy transition in Switzerland? They are a small but vital component. Their numbers are low compared with rooftop PV systems, meaning that even during the winter half of the year, much more electricity is generated by rooftop systems due to their sheer volume than by the planned alpine systems in the
National Survey Report of PV Power Applications in Switzerland
Applications of PV in Switzerland are primarily roof-top grid-connected PV systems. Off-grid, ground-mounted, VIPV applications are still very scarce while an increasing number of building

Applications of PV in Switzerland are primarily roof-connected PV systems. Off-top grid -grid installations are very slowly appearing, 202 saw 1 for the second year in a row a decrease in newly installed off grid systems with 0.2 MW installed 2021 compared to 0.3 MW in 2020.
Photovoltaic potential in Switzerland
It is also known how much energy is generated in winter by PV systems on façades or in the Alps. In his compact overview, Christof Bucher, Professor of Photovoltaic Systems and Head of the PV Laboratory at Bern University of Applied Sciences (BFH), summarises some key facts and gives his assessment of the relevance of various PV potentials.
Solar power in Switzerland
In Switzerland, the "Energy Strategy 2050" and a revised Federal Energy Act in 2017 have led to changes in the photovoltaic (PV) sector. Since January 1, 2018, adjustments include extending the one-time investment subsidy to all PV systems (2 kW to 50 MW) and gradually replacing the feed-in tariff scheme (KEV) with a market-aligned remuneration

6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic generator Switzerland]
How many MW is a photovoltaic system in Switzerland?
In 2021, Switzerland's photovoltaic (PV) installations increased to 685 MWp from 475 MWp in 2020. The Federal Energy Act, revised and effective from January 1, 2018, changed the support scheme for PV systems: it extended the one-time investment subsidy to all sizes of PV systems, ranging from 2 kW to 50 MW.
What are the applications of PV in Switzerland?
Applications of PV in Switzerland are primarily roof-top grid-connected PV systems. Off-grid installations are very slowly appearing, 2021 saw for the second year in a row a decrease in newly installed off grid systems with 0.2 MW installed 2021 compared to 0.3 MW in 2020.
Will photovoltaics boost renewable power production in Switzerland?
new monitoring report of the “Energy Strategy 2050” in 2019 shows that the increase in renewable power production in Switzerland is on track to reach the 4.4 TWh benchmark for 2020 (see graph above – the value for 2019 is 4.19 TWh).The contribution from photovoltaics is thereby above the long-term scenarios.
When did photovoltaic installations start in Switzerland?
The first photovoltaic installation in Switzerland dates back to 1992, but the country had to wait 2011 to observe a significant growth of the size of the yearly installed capacities, it has been developing at a rapid pace ever since (section 1.2). The installations are mainly set on industries and residential areas.
Does Switzerland have a PV system?
There are no specific utility-scale measures in place in Switzerland. Public buildings are often considered for PV installations. It is mainly because law or recommendation mentions that public authorities have to put themselves in the spotlight and show the example. There isn't any specific subsidy for low-income electricity consumers.
What is the PV potential on a Swiss roof?
The Swiss Federal Office of Energy announced in September 2018 that the PV potential on the Swiss roof was about 50 TWh. The evaluation is based on the national maps for PV roofs () and selecting the most suitable roofs. The tool is online for all of Switzerland and is translated into English.
