The findings presented in this report indicate that there is a 4.2% uplift in the value of logistics property after the introduction of on-site solar energy production. Larger installations that
100% overbuilding means, that 50% of the theoretical PV production is curtailed. Different levels of security of supply can be reached without neglecting the net zero CO2 targets and still
With the ewz solar calculator, you can calculate the costs, yield and CO₂ reduction of your PV system, regardless of your location in Switzerland.
A Swiss start-up has created a containerized movable PV system that is designed to be easily relocated to allow the use of solar energy in locations where a fixed installation is
In 2022, several specialised photovoltaic research conferences were held in Switzerland, such as the 10th SOPHIA Workshop PV-Module Reliability or the International Conference on
Our Solar Calculator analyzes the profitability of a PV system for you. If the roof is suitable for a photovoltaic system, the question often arises: Is the investment
PV systems on roofs in the Swiss lowlands are cheapest, but produce the least winter electricity. Steeply angled alpine PV systems, on the other hand, are more expensive,
The higher the winter electricity production, the more the solar PV panel can contribute to securing a reliable supply and to reducing electricity imports in Switzerland.
A PV system consists of modules, inverters, batteries and all installation and control components for modules, inverters and batteries. Other applications such as small mobile devices are not
We group the rooftop data using a limited number of clusters, a proper clustering method is required and a comprehensive analysis is needed to investigate the impact of the clustering.
Our Solar Calculator analyzes the profitability of a PV system for you. If the roof is suitable for a photovoltaic system, the question often arises: Is the investment worth it?

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 integrated and facade PV projects can be observed.
A Swiss start-up has created a containerized movable PV system that is designed to be easily relocated to allow the use of solar energy in locations where a fixed installation is not an option. The solution is based on a racking technology which can include two racks able to host up to 30 solar panels. The Triptic solar array. Image: PWR Station
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.
There are no tendering schemes for PV systems in Switzerland. There are, however, several auction platforms for selling/buying green certificates (guarantee of origin). The price for those certificates has constantly dropped over the past years. There are no specific utility-scale measures in place in Switzerland.
Currently, only large consumers (>100MWh/year) have access to a liberalized electricity market. However, an amendment of the law (LApEI) is currently under consultation to allow all consumers to freely choose their electricity supplier. This chapter describes the support policies aiming directly or indirectly to drive the development of PV.
