Swiss Government Adjusts Solar Tariffs and Grid Regulations – A
On particularly sunny days, excessive solar power generation at midday can strain the electricity grid. To prevent costly infrastructure expansion, the revised Electricity Act allows
Factsheets on solar PV locations in Switzerland
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.

Switzerland: Solar set to cover 14% of power demand
The country is making steady progress on solar expansion – but there''s still ground to cover. While current demand for PV systems remains modest, speakers at this year''s
National Survey Report of PV Power Applications in Switzerland
This report highlights Switzerland''s continued progress in scaling up solar power deployment, with steady growth in PV installations despite a slowdown from previous record years.

OverviewSolar productionOppositionFeed-in tariffs 2009 (KEV)Energy Act 2017
In 2021, Switzerland''s photovoltaic (PV) installations increased to 685 MWp from 475 MWp in 2020. The Federal Energy Act, revised and effective from 1 January 2018, changed the support scheme for PV systems: it extended the one-time investment subsidy to all sizes of PV systems, ranging from 2 kW to 50 MW. Additionally, in 2022, the investment subsidy formula was updated to encourage investments in larger PV capacities and more efficient use of rooftop space.
