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 extended the one-time investment subsidy to all sizes of PV systems, ranging from 2 kW to 50 MW.
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%.
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.
From pv magazine Germany Swissolar, the PV association of Switzerland, has published provisional figures on solar market development in 2022. It said that the country installed more the 1 GW of PV last year for the first time.
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.
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.
