Switzerland

Swiss Clean Battery is readied to begin commercial production of its pure strong state batteries in Switzerland. The batteries are based upon a safeguarded electrolyte made of a strong ion conductor, which aids to preserve inner resistance and capacity. The dealt with ion conductor is developed in the battery cell itself, comparable to a multi-component adhesive.

Energie Electrique du Simplon (EES), a subsidiary of Swiss electricity producer Alpiq, is planning to build an 18-MW solar park in the Swiss Alps to make use of strong solar radiation at high elevations throughout the year.

Oil refiner and also vendor Varo Energy Group as well as renewable resource company Groupe E are planning to develop a 7.7-MW solar park to power Switzerland's only operating refinery in the west of the Alpine nation.

A team of chemists from Kaunas University of Technology (KTU), Lithuania synthesized materials that were utilized for building a record-breaking perovskite solar module, with an efficiency of 21.4 percent. This was attained with the passivation of the active solar cell layer, which boosts the efficiency of the cell as well as substantially boosts its stability.

A global cooperation led by EPFL chemical designers has actually gotten rid of a trouble in the manufacturing of perovskites that decreases their performance as solar panels. The strategy produced perovskite solar panels with an effectiveness of 23.9 percent and functional security longer than 1000 hours.

In a statement released yesterday, it was disclosed that over the next four months, Axpo, Switzerland's biggest renewable energy manufacturer, as well as IWB, a Basel-based power carrier, will certainly develop the biggest Alpine solar plant in Switzerland at the Muttsee dam.

Swiss Battery Start-up High Performance Battery (HPB) declares that it has created the globe's first solid-state battery whose core-- unlike all various other solid-state battery projects-- is the outcome of a chain reaction within the battery.

Researchers at EPFL and also the WSL Institute for Snow as well as Avalanche Research SLF have actually issued suggestions wherefore type of renewable resource should be generated in Switzerland's numerous regions, to help achieve the country's goals of carbon neutrality and also energy self-sufficiency.

Switzerland based independent solar power producer, Etrion has recently launched its economic results for the very first quarter of 2021 (Q1 FY21) ended March 31, 2021.

Meyer Burger gets on track to start shipments of its very first heterojunction (HJ) solar modules made in Germany to representatives in July.

New solar power systems with an ability of an approximated 430 to 460 MW were mounted in Switzerland last year. This represents a development of 30 to 39 percent contrasted to 2019, estimates Swissolar, the Swiss solar power trade organization.

Meyer Burger Technology has actually concurred a settlement with Swiss headquartered PV maker, EcoSolifer over a 2015 on heterojunction (HJ) solar cell line contract that will cause a CHF 1.97 million (US$ 2.22 million) loss for Mayer Burger.

The Swiss Federal Council has selected careful adjustments to regulations in the energy industry. With the modification to the Energy Promotion Ordinance (EnFV), the one-off payment for solar (PV) systems will be raised to 30 kilowatts (kW) as of April 1, 2021.

In 2021, Switzerland will certainly give a total amount of CHF 470 million ($512 million) to advertise the building and construction of photovoltaic plants. According to the Swiss Federal Office of Energy (SFOE), this would certainly allow "the waiting listing for one-off settlements for photovoltaic or pv systems to be totally removed" for the very first time since 2008.
