5 FAQs about [Expected ROI of solar plus storage project in Switzerland 2026]
How many solar panels did Switzerland install in 2024?
Switzerland installed approximately 1.78 GW of new PV capacity in 2024, according to provisional figures from Swissolar. This marked an increase from 1.64 GW in 2023 and 1.08 GW in 2022, making 2024 a record year for new installations.
How will new solar regulations affect Switzerland's electricity grid?
“The new regulations encourage the temporary storage of solar production peaks, which helps relieve the electricity grids,” said Swissolar. Switzerland installed approximately 1.78 GW of new PV capacity in 2024, according to provisional figures from Swissolar.
What is the Swiss Federal Act on a secure electricity supply?
The Swiss Federal Council has adopted a second set of ordinances to implement the Federal Act on a Secure Electricity Supply from Renewable Energy Sources. The new regulations, set to take effect on Jan. 1, 2026, cover energy communities and minimum remuneration.
Is 2024 a record year for new installations?
This marked an increase from 1.64 GW in 2023 and 1.08 GW in 2022, making 2024 a record year for new installations. However, Swissolar said it does not expect this growth to continue in 2025 and 2026, forecasting annual additions of 1.51 GW and 1.56 GW, respectively.
How can distribution system operators reduce the cost of a solar system?
Distribution system operators can now set maximum feed-in power at the connection point, reducing delays in connecting solar systems and limiting grid expansions. Solar system operators can store excess power in batteries or electric vehicles. Any imposed limitation must be compensated for if it results in more than a 3% annual yield loss.
