Large-scale photovoltaic systems in Switzerland
Depending on their location and orientation, high-alpine photovoltaic systems can generate more electricity per installed kilowatt of power in the winter months than comparable systems in the lowlands. This is because the radiation conditions are better (thinner atmosphere, less fog) and because the sunlight is reflected by the snow (known as the albedo effect).
This dataset contains all information on planned or realised large-scale photovoltaic installations that have been reported to the SFOE.
