How much solar energy is needed in Switzerland in 2024?
In Switzerland: Solar obligation for new buildings with more than 300 m2 from 2024 (approx. 30% of new private buildings). The UReK-S (the Environment Commission of the Council of States) wants to accelerate the expansion of solar energy. According to the commission, electricity production urgently needs to be increased.
How much energy does a solar roof generate in Europe?
It is estimated that solar roofs could generate about a quarter of the EU’s electricity consumption, i.e. more than the share of natural gas used in the European energy mix. The European Solar Roof Initiative announced in the framework of REPowerEU aims to rapidly exploit this potential.
What is the European Solar Roof Initiative?
