Check out our contribution to the October edition of the VSE Bulletin!

(in German only) Mit dem russischen Einmarsch in die Ukraine wurde klar, wie abhängig die Energie­versor­gungs­sicherheit der Schweiz von den Entwick­lungen im Ausland ist. Um diese Abhängig­keit zu redu­zieren, sind diverse technische, politische, regula­torische und gesell­schaftliche Mass­nahmen nötig. Ein Energie­system­modell berück­sichtigt diese nun.  Link to the article!

Alternatives to the prevailing PV policies in Switzerland

Electricity generated from rooftop photovoltaics systems have the largest renewable potential in Switzerland and are expected to contribute substantially to the future Swiss electricity mix. However, so far, these systems are behind their expectations, which is why an update of PV policies is discussed. In this project, we investigate an alternative to the prevailing support scheme. What we call the "customer-oriented feed-in tariff" remunerates solar electricity injected to the grid with a percentage of the retail electricity price, the price electricity customers are paying for electricity consumption.

Can solar PV in the alps help Switzerland’s energy transition?

Dr. Marius Schwarz contributed to the study “Alpenstrom jetzt!”, in which four researchers from different fields outline their perspective on alpine PV in Switzerland. Photovoltaic (PVA) systems in alpine areas could make an important contribution to building-up of domestic winter electricity production, which is crucial for the security of electricity supply in Switzerland. Alpine PV generate significantly more…
