6 FAQs about [Solar integration Switzerland]

Why is solar power growing in Switzerland?

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.

Can solar energy be used in Switzerland?

Although the proportion of solar heat to overall consumption in Switzerland is still relatively low, its potential is considerable. If all existing buildings were to be optimally improved in terms of energy efficiency, it would be possible to meet the heating requirements of all Switzerland's households through the use of solar collectors.

How much does solar energy cost in Switzerland?

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.

How much solar power can a Swiss house generate?

According to a recent study by the Swiss Federal Office of Energy (SFOE) based on data from a solar potential cadastre ( sonnendach.ch) and meteodata, Swiss houses and factories could generate up to67 TWh of photovoltaic power per year (current power consumption is around 60 TWh).

Does Switzerland prefer solar development in urban areas?

This decision, opposed by the Swiss People's Party and environmental groups, suggests a preference for solar development in urban areas. Valais, known as one of Switzerland's sunniest regions suitable for solar parks, witnessed a significant vote that impacts the direction of renewable energy projects within the canton.

Will photovoltaics contribute to the future Swiss electricity supply?

Electricity production from photovoltaics is one of the key pillars in the strategy for the future Swiss electricity supply andshould contribute – according to the official scenarios – with roughly half (11,1 TWh) of the net addition in renewable electricity production until 2050 (24,2 TWh).
