6 FAQs about [Swiss Photovoltaic Energy Storage Policy Project]
What is the future of electricity storage in Switzerland?
One important pillar of this strategy is the further development of electricity storage capacity in Switzerland. In the next years, three large-scale pumped hydro storage power plants will be connected to the grid. The first, the Limmern pumped storage plant (1 GW), should become operational in 2016.
When did photovoltaic installations start in Switzerland?
The first photovoltaic installation in Switzerland dates back to 1992, but the country had to wait 2011 to observe a significant growth of the size of the yearly installed capacities, it has been developing at a rapid pace ever since (section 1.2). The installations are mainly set on industries and residential areas.
Can Swiss solar power plants be installed in the Alps?
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.
What are the applications of PV in Switzerland?
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.
Should solar panels be required in new buildings in Switzerland?
Since 2015, the Swiss government has published a recommendation for the energy policies in cantons. These regulations should include a requirement for PV in every new building. In a majority of cantons, a requirement of including about 10 W PV per square meter of heated area for new buildings is already implemented.
Who surveys the solar market in Switzerland?
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.
