Noah Heynen, founder and co-president of Helion, Switzerland's largest solar company, pointed out during a discussion on the future of Swiss energy that solar systems currently provide 4 percent of Switzerland's electricity, and by 2050 this could exceed 50 percent . Swiss politics and the energy industry have in the past positioned photovoltaics as the heart of Switzerland's energy future. Therefore, he recommends building as many photovoltaic installations as possible: first, equip one-third of all houses, facades, multi-storey car parks and highway guardrails with photovoltaic systems in Switzerland, which can also generate photovoltaic systems in winter when the sun is less. enough electricity; the second is to convert the excess energy produced in summer into methane and hydrogen, and the combined heat and power plant (CHP) can also run on the excess energy; the third is to use electric vehicles to store energy. The battery of an electric vehicle not only stores electricity, but also provides energy. Nissan, Mitsubishi, Kia and Hyundai already offer such vehicles. According to calculations by Helion and Volkswagen, electric vehicles could in the future provide Switzerland with the electricity storage capacity of the current output of nuclear power plants.
Rolf Wüstenhagen, a professor of renewable energy management at the University of St. Gallen, and Patrick Dümmler, an energy expert at the think tank Avenir Suisse, both agree that the model is technically feasible, but Dümmler is not in favour of an expensive "siloed solution" for Switzerland, suggesting a stronger partnership with the EU Communication on power agreements to ensure grid stability.
Noah Heynen telur að raforkuframleiðsla sé ódýrasta orkuframleiðsluaðferðin í heiminum og í Sviss. Bygging ljósvakerfa er framtíðar-innviði. Framtíð svissneskra orkugjafa liggur í sólarorku.
