Municipalities
play a key role in using and promoting solar power. There is a wide
range of actions and tools to support the deployment of solar photovoltaics
on the local level. For instance, municipalities can purchase solar
power products or install their own solar photovoltaic system. What's
more, municipalities can shape a favorable framework and useful conditions
that enable and facilitate the implementation of photovoltaics.
The publication "Solar ElectriCity Guide" (available in
German "Solarstrom in der Gemeinde" and in French "Guide
ElectriCité Solaire") shows ways of how a municipality
can concretely act with(in) its competences. It provides insight into
the diversity of how stakeholders coming from the business area and
population can be active / commit themselves in favour of photovoltaic
power. "Solar ElectriCity Guide" is a unique publication
presenting for the first time such a comprehensive collection of examples,
experiences and measures taken in the Swiss solar landscape. The main
publication is supplemented by seven thematic documents providing
further information and illustrations specified for different target
areas and audiences (in German only).
