Is Switzerland a good country to install solar panels in 2022?

Switzerland had its best year in terms of new PV deployment in 2022, with more than 1,000 MW of installed capacity, according to provisional statistics from Swissolar. At the end of December, the nation surpassed 4.6 GW of cumulative installed solar capacity. From pv magazine Germany

How many PV systems are installed in Switzerland in 2021?

By comparison, Switzerland deployed around 683 MW of PV in 2021. According to Swissolar, this is the third year in a row that PV demand increased by more than 40%. Around 200,000 PV systems have now been installed in Switzerland and their combined capacity is beyond 4.6 GW. This year, Swissolar expects the PV market to grow by more than 20%.

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.

How many GW of solar power did Switzerland install last year?

It said that the country installed more the 1 GW of PV last year for the first time. The statistics confirm what was reported by SolarPower Europe in its “ Global Market Outlook ” report, which was released at the recent Intersolar trade show in Munich, Germany. By comparison, Switzerland deployed around 683 MW of PV in 2021.

Where are PV systems installed in Switzerland?

The installations are mainly set on industries and residential areas. Nearly 90% of new installations are on residential areas but the industrial area systems make up for 48 % of the capacity installed ( Figure 1 and Figure 2). Applications of PV in Switzerland are primarily roof-top grid-connected PV systems.

Will photovoltaics boost renewable power production in Switzerland?

new monitoring report of the “Energy Strategy 2050” in 2019 shows that the increase in renewable power production in Switzerland is on track to reach the 4.4 TWh benchmark for 2020 (see graph above – the value for 2019 is 4.19 TWh).The contribution from photovoltaics is thereby above the long-term scenarios.

High - Capacity Lithium - Ion Energy Storage Systems

A high-capacity lithium-ion energy storage system with multiple battery modules neatly arranged, showing its modular design.

Our high - capacity lithium - ion energy storage systems play a crucial role in optimizing solar energy usage. Utilizing state-of-the-art lithium-ion battery technology, they can store a significant amount of energy generated by solar panels during the day. This stored energy can then be used during peak demand periods or when sunlight is insufficient, such as at night or on cloudy days. With features like high energy density, fast charging, and long cycle life, these systems provide a reliable and efficient solution for energy storage, enabling you to achieve greater energy independence.

Smart Hybrid Inverters

A smart hybrid inverter with a clear display screen and various connection ports, highlighting its intelligent control and integration capabilities.

Smart hybrid inverters are the key to a seamless and intelligent solar power system. They can intelligently manage the flow of electricity between solar panels, energy storage systems, and the electrical grid. These inverters not only convert the direct current (DC) from solar panels into alternating current (AC) for household or business use but also optimize the charging and discharging of energy storage systems. With built-in monitoring and communication features, you can remotely control and monitor your energy system, making it easy to adjust settings and track performance.

Portable Solar Power Stations

A compact and portable solar power station with a handle and built-in solar panels, suitable for outdoor activities and emergency power supply.

Portable solar power stations are designed for on-the-go power needs. They integrate solar panels, energy storage, and inverter functions into a single, lightweight unit. Ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, campers, and those in need of emergency backup power, these stations can charge various electronic devices like smartphones, laptops, and even small appliances. Their portability and ease of use make them a convenient choice for anyone who wants to access clean energy wherever there's sunlight, providing a reliable power source in remote locations or during power outages.

Distributed Photovoltaic Power Station Solutions

A distributed photovoltaic power station with multiple solar panel arrays spread across different rooftops or open spaces, demonstrating its scalability and wide coverage.

Our distributed photovoltaic power station solutions are tailored for various applications, from small communities to large industrial complexes. By distributing solar panel installations across multiple locations, we can make better use of available space and increase the overall energy generation capacity. These solutions are designed with high-performance components and integrated monitoring systems to ensure efficient operation, easy maintenance, and maximum energy yield. They also contribute to reducing the reliance on the main power grid and have a positive impact on the environment.

Micro Inverters

A small micro inverter with a simple yet functional design, showing its connection points for individual solar panels.

Micro inverters offer a unique advantage in solar power systems. Unlike traditional string inverters, each micro inverter is connected to a single solar panel, allowing for individual panel optimization. This means that even if one panel is shaded or has a lower performance due to some reason, it won't affect the overall output of the entire system. They are easy to install, highly efficient in converting DC to AC power, and provide better flexibility in system design, making them suitable for both residential and small commercial solar installations.

Roof - Integrated Photovoltaic Power Stations

A roof-integrated photovoltaic power station that seamlessly blends with the roof tiles, creating an aesthetically pleasing and efficient energy solution.

Roof - integrated photovoltaic power stations combine the functionality of solar power generation with the aesthetics of building design. These stations are custom-designed to fit directly onto rooftops, replacing traditional roofing materials in part or in whole. They not only generate clean energy but also enhance the overall look of the building. With advanced installation techniques and durable materials, they can withstand the elements while providing a long-term and reliable source of electricity, making them an ideal choice for both new construction and retrofit projects.
