Solar power generation is the most important renewable energy in Switzerland after hydropower. In 1982, Switzerland became the first European country to connect solar generation to the power grid. Today, Switzerland has become one of the most innovative countries in the field of solar mounting system. However, industry experts believe that its potential is far from being developed.

Swiss federal council has confirmed that it will allocate 470 million Swiss francs (about 521 million US dollars) for solar energy tax rebate in 2021. Among them, 270 million Swiss francs will be used for small systems with power less than 100 kilowatts, and 200 million Swiss francs will be used for large systems with power over 100 kilowatts, accounting for about 20% of the investment cost of facilities. Switzerland will also remove some legal obstacles related to photovoltaic power generation. For example, from July 1, 2021, the planning approval requirements for power generation systems connected to low-voltage distribution networks will be abolished. This means that solar installation systems can be deployed more easily, cheaply and quickly. The approval procedures for restricted facility licenses will also be simplified from July 1st.

According to the latest data from the International Renewable Energy Agency, the installed solar capacity in Switzerland at the end of last year was about 3.11GW. According to the Federal Energy Office, installing solar panels on the roofs and external walls of all buildings to absorb sunlight may generate 67 trillion watt-hours of electricity per year in Switzerland.

If parking roofs, highways and mountainous areas (such as ski resorts) are taken into account, another 15 trillion watt-hours can be generated. Swiss solar professional association Swissolar claims that by 2050, the development of photovoltaic power generation and other renewable energy sources can make Switzerland 100% dependent on clean energy.

Solar energy is regarded as an inexhaustible renewable energy by us. With the great wisdom of mankind, solar radiation is directly converted into electric energy. Kinsend solar bracket products are now favored by more agents in the European market, and we hope to get more product consultation from European customers. We will provide high-quality solar rack products and timely delivery services.
