National Survey Report of PV Power Applications in

Task 1 – National Survey Report of PV Power Applications in Switzerland 7 Total photovoltaic power installed On behalf of the Swiss Federal Office of Energy, Swissolar is mandated to survey the Swiss solar market and publish the annual installed capacity in the report: "Statistiques de l''énergie solaire: Année de reference 2022".

Three strategies to boost green electricity in Switzerland

Climate neutrality and nuclear phase-out: Switzerland''s ambitious green electricity targets are realistic if the electricity supply is profoundly and rapidly transformed, as a study by the SWEET EDGE

The Role of Solar in Switzerland''s Energy Transition

Solar thermal energy in the context of the Swiss overall energy supply in 2050 The brand-new study "SolTherm2050" analyzes the energy policy significance of solar thermal energy in Switzerland for the next 30 years. Based on the energy system model, "Swiss Energyscope" of ETH, domestic hot water preheating, geothermal probe/ice storage

Expert calls for new approach to solar power in Switzerland

Noah Heynen, the head of Helion an installer of solar systems, welcomes the proposal and says that the technology for throttling solar systems is already in place. In addition, a new electricity law currently being put together will provide the legal basis for solar systems to be throttled to 70% of their output.

Solar power in Switzerland

In 2022, Switzerland derived 6% of its electricity from solar power. Studies show that installing solar panels on mountaintops in the Swiss Alps could produce at least 16 terawatt-hours (TWh) a year, approaching half of the nation''s 2050 solar energy target.

Three strategies to boost green electricity in Switzerland

Climate neutrality and nuclear phase-out: Switzerland''s ambitious green electricity targets are realistic if the electricity supply is profoundly and rapidly transformed, as a study by the SWEET EDGE consortium shows. The researchers developed three strategies for expanding renewable energies.

Solar energy

Solar power has enormous potential: by 2050, more than 40 percent of future electricity demand is expected to be met by photovoltaics. The utilisation of solar heat with the aid of a solar thermal system is also an attractive option for producing hot water and auxiliary heating.

Solar will cover 10 percent of Swiss electricity consumption in 2024

Switzerland has set a target of adding 35 TWh of additional renewable electricity as part of its strategy of reaching net zero by 2050. If it continued to add solar capacity at the same rate as it did in 2023 it would meet this objective within the timeframe.

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.

Three strategies to boost green electricity in Switzerland

Switzerland''s ambitious green electricity targets are realistic. A study by the SWEET EDGE consortium shows that three distinct strategies would make it possible to cover electricity needs and lead to the employment of several thousands of people in the sector of new renewable energy. Photovoltaics would be the main source of energy for all
