Solar power in Switzerland has demonstrated consistent capacity growth since the early 2010s, influenced by government subsidy mechanisms such as the implementation of thein 2009 and the enactment of the revised Energy Act in 2018. By the end of 2023, solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity had reached 6.4

Community solar systems, defined as medium to large-scale PV installations co-owned by multiple building owners and/or tenants, offer one option to increase PV adoption in cities. This blogpost summarizes the findings of our recent paper that explores if, by how much and under which conditions community solar could help accelerate PV adoption in cities.
Solar Photovoltaic (PV) systems typically convert solar irradiance into electricity, thereby helping to reduce the need for fossil fuels and the amount of greenhouse gases released. They provide a reliable and continuous renewable source of energy. However, PV systems are continuously exposed to diverse and changing environmental conditions, such as temperature,
Solar power systems designed with a thorough site evaluation lead to better system designs that will result in the following benefits: increased energy production by selecting the best location for the solar array; improved accuracy in energy production estimates as a result of better quantification of shading and other site-specific issues
Large-scale photovoltaic systems with an annual production of at least 10 GWh and a high winter share receive a subsidy of max. 60% of the investment costs, provided they are partially

The large-scale, alpine power plant in the Glarus Alps will make a contribution: It will generate 50 per cent of its production during the winter. Solar plants in the Midlands are often under the fog
The energy transition depends on the expansion of renewable energies everywhere. Large-scale solar plants will play an increasingly important role in this process, both on the mountains and, in future, Switzerland''s Central
Energy generation from renewable sources is a global trend due to the carbon emissions generated by fossil fuels, which cause serious harm to the ecosystem. As per the long-term goals of the ASEAN countries, the Malaysian government established a target of 31% renewable energy generation by 2025 to facilitate ongoing carbon emission reductions. To
In its autumn 2022 session, Switzerland''s parliament passed legislation that created the conditions for a rapid expansion of ground-mounted photovoltaic (PV) systems, capable of producing large amounts of solar electricity during the

The first large-scale solar heat networks started to be deployed in the USA and Europe around the 1970s. In Europe, the first solar heat networks were installed in Sweden Poland 15 systems, Greece 13 systems, and Switzerland 17 systems. Although Germany is currently considered a niche market, relative to Denmark,
Environmental performance assessments of large-scale solar applications are scarce. There is limited information on the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and energy footprints of utility-scale solar energy systems. Späth used an extrapolative approach to study the social acceptance of large-scale PV in Switzerland. Few studies are available
Malaysia targets to achieve an energy mix that is inclusive of at least 20% of renewable energies by the year 2025. Large-scale solar photovoltaic system (LSS-PV) emerged as the most preferable choice in Malaysia. Energy Commission (EC) Malaysia has launched competitive bidding on LSS since 2016 with a capacity of 500 MW in Peninsular Malaysia and

Solar power in Switzerland has demonstrated consistent capacity growth since the early 2010s, influenced by government subsidy mechanisms such as the implementation of the feed-in tariff in 2009 and the enactment of the revised Energy Act in 2018. By the end of 2023, solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity had reached 6.4 GW, a notable increase from the 0.1 GW recorded in 2010. Conc
The Large Scale Solar Summit Europe returns for its 13th year in 2025. Always senior and packed with the industry''s leading IPPs and developers, this will be the meeting place for decision-makers in the European solar industry. SMA''s
On February 1, 2023, Switzerland held its first auction for one-off payments for large photovoltaic (PV) systems. 94 applicants received payments ranging from CHF 360 to CHF 640 per kilowatt (kW), supporting a total capacity of 35 MW. In 2021, Switzerland's photovoltaic (PV) installations increased to 685 MWp from 475 MWp in 2020.
It said that the country installed more the 1 GW of PV last year for the first time. The statistics confirm what was reported by SolarPower Europe in its “ Global Market Outlook ” report, which was released at the recent Intersolar trade show in Munich, Germany. By comparison, Switzerland deployed around 683 MW of PV in 2021.
The country continues to find ways to take advantage of its topography to install PV and optimize winter production. With the "Alpine Offensive", the Swiss parliament has decided that large-scale solar power plants in the Alps, generating at least 10 GWh, including at least 500 kWh/kW in winter, will be eligible for federal support.
In Switzerland, the price paid for solar energy added to the grid varies widely, ranging from less than 4 cents to as high as 21.75 cents per kWh in 2022 in one canton alone. In 2022, Switzerland derived 6% of its electricity from solar power.
Applications of PV in Switzerland are primarily roof-top grid-connected PV systems. Off-grid installations are very slowly appearing but 2022 saw, after two years in a row of decrease in newly installed off grid systems, a real increase with 0.7 MW installed compared to 0.2 MW in 2021.
The Swiss Federal Office of Energy has been surveying the solar market in Switzerland for more than 20 years. Due to this long experience the quality of the data has been maintained, thanks as well to all the installers and distributers who are willing to complete the annual questionnaire.
