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.

New PV Solar Panels for Switzerland

A combination of new government measures and private investment initiatives will lead to significantly more solar power capacity in Switzerland. Earlier this month (October 2022), the upper house of the Swiss parliament voted in favour of legislation ruling that from 01 January 2024 all new buildings with an area of over 300m2 must be equipped
