    Ernst Schweizer is the energy transition maker 2022

    According to a press release , Ernst Schweizer AG was named Energy Transition Maker 2022 as one of eight innovations in the energy sector for its climate-optimized photovoltaic mounting system MSP project at the 8th national congress of AEE Suisse .

    The MSP mounting system developed for the positioning of solar modules creates the structural basis for the attachment of photovoltaic modules and thus for solar power production. According to the company, it can be adapted to any roof topography and uses low-emission aluminum with an above-average recycled content. This climate-optimized design promises CO2 savings of an estimated 7,400 tons in the current year compared to the EU average for the same production volume.

    Of central importance and rare in the industry is the property of the MSP system to transparently display the greenhouse gas emissions generated by the respective photovoltaic installation. "Environmentally conscious investors, architects, planners and installers can thus optimize the CO2 footprint of their construction project," it says.

    AEE Suisse is the industry's umbrella organization for renewable energies and energy efficiency and, according to its own information , represents 35,000 companies and energy suppliers from 32 industry associations.
