In a February 2023 press release, researchers from ETH Zurich and the University of Bern highlighted findings from a study on the economic viability of solar panel installations across 2,067 Swiss cities and communes.OverviewSolar power in Switzerland has demonstrated consistent capacity growth since the early 2010s, influenced. .
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. .
In 2022, Switzerland derived 6% of its electricity from solar power. Studies show that installing solar panels on mountaintops in the could produce at least 16 terawatt-hours (TWh) a year, approaching half of the n. .
The feed-in remuneration at cost (KEV, : Kostendeckende Einspeisevergütung ) is a Swiss subsidy mechanism designed to support the production of electricity from .
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.
