Where to build solar in Switzerland
How Gridscouter ranks Swiss substations for solar, from the Plateau to alpine projects.
The market
Most Swiss solar is on rooftops, but larger ground and alpine projects are growing because they produce more in winter.
How Gridscouter ranks solar sites
Substations are scored on sunshine, flat or south-facing land, grid voltage and how much solar is already connected. Each site gets a suggested size in MWp.
Where to look
The Plateau has the most grid; alpine sites in Valais and Graubünden produce more winter power but need long connections.
Note
Gridscouter scores are estimates from open map data, not grid operator capacity figures. Confirm connection capacity with the grid operator.
