Technical FAQs 4

What are Switzerland's new energy regulations?

Switzerland is expanding rules for rooftop solar, energy storage, and energy communities to expand self-consumption and ease pressure on the grid. The new regulations, set to take effect in 2026, introduce updated tariffs, encourage battery storage, and allow local electricity trading.

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.

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.
