Swissolar expects solar’s share to reach 10 per cent by 2024
Zürich - Solaranlagen könnten laut einer Schätzung von Swissolar bereits 2024 einen Anteil von 10 Prozent an der Schweizer Stromproduktion erreichen. Der Branchenverband rechnet für das laufende Jahr mit einem Zubau von 1500 Megawatt und erwartet für 2024 einen Zuwachs von mindestens 10 Prozent.
Swissolar expects photovoltaic installations to reach 1500 megawatts in 2023. In a press release, the industry association cites the registration figures from the Pronovo funding agency and feedback from the market. This means that the expansion is almost 40 per cent higher than in the previous year.
This means that a total of 6,200 megawatts of photovoltaic capacity will be installed by the end of 2023. This should enable an annual production of 6 terawatt hours in the coming year. Swissolar therefore expects solar power to reach a share of 10 per cent by 2024.
Swissolar recognises high growth in both small and large installations. The large systems were driven by the new subsidy for systems without self-consumption, for example. The high electricity price has made solar power more competitive on the free market.
For 2024, Swissolar expects an increase in new installations of at least 10 per cent.
