Swiss Solar Market on the Rise
Good news for the Swiss solar market: approx. 35 % of all energy is now produced through solar technology. The positive development is the result of the consequent development of photovoltaic systems on suitable roofs throughout the Swiss.
Swiss owner’s of a photovoltaic system are pleased at the possibility of an increase in the feed-in remuneration for solar electricity. Since October 2011, a modified form of the Swiss compensatory Energy Ordinance has been enacted. As soon as 2013, a new tariff could step in guaranteeing photovoltaic owners a supplement equivalent to 0,9 cents/kWh. Authorities are basing their opinions on the last two years experience with the Energy and Water Protection Act.
Studies has proven that if the Swiss were to install PV systems on all applicable rooftops, 35 % of the annual energy demands would be covered entirely by solar energy. The market volume alone had 1,5 billion Swiss francs at its disposal and with an irradiation level between 1000 and 1500 kWh/m² annually, photovoltaic systems can practically be built anywhere in the Swiss. Alone in Bern the irradiation is only 2,2 times less than that of the Sahara.
With sunny prospects on the rise, AS Solar your competent and experienced wholesale distributor for solar technology and pellet systems, is looking forward to seeing you in the Swiss.
We are therefore seeking qualified associates to fill the position Sales Manager Photovoltaic m/f (B2B).

AS Solar Receives Award from "Ökoprofit"
With hard earned praise and great pleasure, AS Solar wholesale distributor for solar technology and pellet systems, was hailed as exemplary for its model actions within the framework of the "Ökoprofit" program by Mayor Stephan Weil.
AS Solar demonstrates great leadership through positive actions and role model standards. According to a jury, the decision was made for the following reasons:
Through the renovation of a previously erected and subsequently abandoned factory by the company Telefunken in 1959, AS Solar was able to significantly reduce massive costs. The end result was a new company headquarter distinguished as an energy plus industrial object. The vacant building was transformed into an energy efficient “machine” housing office, storage and warehouse capabilities.
The newly passive house renovated style façade, the conversion to a reduced dependency ratio heating system, as well as, the integration of an air system featuring ultra-efficient heat recovery, the annual heating requirement of 270 kWh/m² was able to be reduced by more than 90 % to approx. 20 kWh/m². This translates to a CO2 savings of 1.300.00 kWh or 203.000 EUR annually.
“The results from the Ökoprofit contest have demonstrated just how important the environment is and what a positive impact Hannover’s energy conscientious economy has had”, stated Mayor Stephan Weil after recently visiting AS Solar’s new company headquarters.
