What are the market dynamics in the Switzerland solar PV market?

The Swiss government has implemented various measures and provided incentives for the promotion of renewable energy production in the country. A crucial measure taken by the government is the compensatory feed-in tariff (FiT) for renewable energy, which became applicable from 01 January 2009.  Power plant producers with hydropower generation facilities of up to 10 MW, solar PV, wind, geothermal, and biomass are eligible for this scheme. The Swiss government is introducing one-time investment contributions to promote the production of electricity from solar PV systems. The one-time payments exceed up to 30% of the investment costs of reference facilities. This instrument is planned until 2030.

In the country, solar PV installations receive a tariff based on their location and their integration into the building. The FiT tenure for solar PV installations is 15 years. It is expected that solar PV power will continue to lead Switzerland’s power market in terms of cumulative installed capacity even in the year-end 2030. Solar PV power had the dominant share in the total renewable power installed capacity of Switzerland. This share is expected to further increase by 2030.

Which are the major active solar PV plants in Switzerland?

The major active solar PV plants in Switzerland are Wittenbach Solar PV Park- 1, Steinbruch Quinten Solar PV Plant, Courgenay Solar PV Park, Champ La Boverie Solar Park, Zuchwil- Implenia Solar PV Park, Migros- Verteilbetrieb Neuendorf Solar PV Park, Neuendorf- Migros Solar PV Park, Geneva IS Palexpo PV Plant, Ferrowohlen Wohlen AG Solar PV Park, and Wohlen Greenpeace Solar Plant. Wittenbach Solar PV Park- 1 has the highest total capacity among these plants followed by Steinbruch Quinten Solar PV Plant and Courgenay Solar PV Park.

What are the key deal types in the Switzerland solar PV market?

The solar PV market of Switzerland recorded a total number of 76 deals in 2020. Out of 76 deals, partnerships had the maximum deals, followed by acquisitions, debt offerings, equity offerings, asset transactions, venture financing, private equity, and mergers.
