    tb.glarus connects the largest solar community in Glarus to the grid

    tb.glarus is also enabling tenants to participate in the expansion of solar energy. As the Glarus-based utility announced, it commissioned the system at the Stampfrüti stable on 23 November. This is the company’s sixth solar community and the largest to date in the canton of Glarus.

    With an area of 707 square metres, the system is expected to generate 128,000 kilowatt hours of electricity per year. According to tb.glarus, 95 per cent of the 707 solar panels have already been sold. The one-off investment in the Stampfrüti plant offers tb.glarus customers a fixed credit for solar power over 20 years.

    The six solar communities have a total output of 519 kilowatt peak and generate around 490,000 kilowatt hours per year on an area of over 2500 square metres. tb.glarus is looking for further roof areas that are suitable for solar communities.

  • The first solar community on the Bödeli is created in Matten

    The first solar community on the Bödeli is created in Matten

    Around 220 people have come together to form the IBI solar community based in Matten. According to a media release from Industrielle Betriebe Interlaken AG (IBI), the large-scale plant on the roof of the equestrian centre will be equipped with 2390 square metres of solar panels. The photovoltaic system will produce 463,000 kilowatt hours of solar power per year. This corresponds to the annual electricity needs of up to 120 households.

    According to the media release, the IBI has found that there is a great deal of interest among residents of the Bödeli, the area between Lakes Thun and Brienz in the Bernese Oberland, in solar installations. However, not all interested people have the roof space to install their own photovoltaic system. The solution is solar communities, in which several people participate in a communal system.

    Such a community system is now being built on the roof of the large equestrian centre in Matten. The interest was so great that the investment was ready just 18 days after the booking began. According to IBI, about 220 customers have participated in the roof, 40 per cent of them with a maximum area of 20 square metres. The participation amounts to 250 francs per square metre of panel area. In return, the investors receive a credit of 100 kilowatt hours of solar electricity per year over 20 years. IBI bears 100 per cent of the risk for the operation of the system. In the event of operational failures, snow on the roof or hail damage, the customers bear no risk.

    At the moment, the power grid in this area still needs to be strengthened and a transformer station may have to be built. According to the press release, IBI is already planning to invite tenders for a second solar community in 2023.

  • EWA-energieUri creates a new solar community

    EWA-energieUri creates a new solar community

    EWA-energieUri is realizing the Uri solar community in Schattdorf. As the Uri energy provider announced , it wants to set up a photovoltaic system on the roof of the Uri Foundation for Disabled Persons, in which interested private parties can also participate. They can now reserve individual square meters of the facility for a fixed price of CHF 339. In return, they receive solar power for over 20 years.

    The plant is to generate a total of 49,000 kilowatt hours of electricity per year on 260 square meters. That is 165 kilowatt hours per square meter, around 4 percent of the consumption of an average household. Commissioning of the plant is planned for spring 2023. Interested parties can already reserve their share at meinurstrom-sun.ch .

    "The Uri solar community is an attractive product for producing and purchasing solar power easily and easily, even without your own roof," Werner Jauch, CEO of EWA-energieUri, is quoted as saying in the press release.
