National Survey Reportof PV Power Applicationsin SWITZERLAND 2023 PVPS What is IEA PVPS TCP? The International Energy Agency (IEA), founded in 1974, is an autonomous body within the framework of the Organization for EconomicCooperation and Development (OECD).The Technology Collaboration Programme(TCP)was created with a belief that the future of energysecurity and sustainability starts with global collaboration. The programme is made up of6.000experts across government, academia, andindustry dedicated to advancing common research and the application of specific energy technologies. The IEA Photovoltaic Power Systems Programme (IEA PVPS) is one of theTCP’swithin the IEA and was established in 1993.The missionof the programme is to “enhance the international collaborative efforts which facilitate the role of photovoltaic solar energy as a cornerstonein the transition to sustainable energy systems.” In order to achieve this, the Programme’s participants have undertaken a variety of jointresearch projects in PV power systems applications. The overall programme is headed by an Executive Committee, comprised of onedelegate from each country ororganizationmember, which designates distinct ‘Tasks,’ that may be research projects or activity areas. The IEA PVPS participating members are Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, China, Denmark, Enercity SA, European Union, Finland,France, Germany, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Morocco, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Solar Energy Research Instituteof Singapore (SERIS), SolarPower Europe, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, Türkiye, United States, and theUnitedKingdom.

The objective of Task 1 of the IEA Photovoltaic Power Systems Programme is to promote and facilitate the exchange and dissemination ofinformation on the technical, economic, environmental and social aspects of PV power systems. Task 1 activities support the broader PVPSobjectives: to contribute to cost reduction of PV power applications, to increase awareness of the potential and value of PVpower systems,to foster the removal of both technical and non-technical barriers and to enhance technology co-operation. An important deliverable of Task1 is the annual “Trends in photovoltaic applications” report. In parallel, National Survey Reports are produced annually by each Task 1participant. This document is the country National Survey Report for the year2023. Information from this document will be used as input tothe annual Trends in photovoltaic applications report.
