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.
At the end of December, cumulative solar installations reached 3.65 GW. Switzerland's Federal Office of Energy (SFOE) has revealed this week that the country deployed around 683 MW of PV in 2021 – representing growth of 43% growth over the previous year and demand increasing across all segments.
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.
According to a recent study by the Swiss Federal Office of Energy (SFOE) based on data from a solar potential cadastre ( sonnendach.ch) and meteodata, Swiss houses and factories could generate up to67 TWh of photovoltaic power per year (current power consumption is around 60 TWh).
Since 2015, the Swiss government has published a recommendation for the energy policies in cantons. These regulations should include a requirement for PV in every new building. In a majority of cantons, a requirement of including about 10 W PV per square meter of heated area for new buildings is already implemented.
The Swiss Federal Office of Energy has been surveying the solar market in Switzerland for more than 20 years. Due to this long experience the quality of the data has been maintained, thanks as well to all the installers and distributers who are willing to complete the annual questionnaire.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 250% in the past two years. Containerized energy storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial and industrial storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 42% market share, driven by corporate sustainability initiatives and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 18-28%. Europe follows closely with 35% market share, where standardized industrial storage designs have cut installation timelines by 65% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 50% CAGR, with manufacturing scale reducing system prices by 20% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting industrial storage solutions for peak shaving and backup power, with typical payback periods of 2-4 years. Major commercial projects now deploy clusters of 15+ systems creating storage networks with 80+MWh capacity at costs below $270/kWh for large-scale industrial applications.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving industrial energy storage performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal operating conditions with 45% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 20+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $85/kWh to $40/kWh since 2023. Smart integration features now allow multiple industrial systems to operate as coordinated energy networks, increasing cost savings by 30% through peak shaving and demand charge management. Safety innovations including multi-stage fire suppression and thermal runaway prevention systems have reduced insurance premiums by 35% for industrial storage projects. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple system additions at just $200/kWh for incremental capacity. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial and industrial projects typically achieving payback in 3-5 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard industrial systems (1-2MWh) starting at $330,000 and large-scale systems (3-6MWh) from $600,000, with volume discounts available for enterprise orders.
