The number of solar installations in the country is constantly growing. In order to avoid an indiscriminate use of solar applications, and to invest economic and space resources in the most effective way possible, it is necessary to find a proper balance between technical and aesthetic requirements.
Several Swiss Cantons have already dealt with the integration of solar technologies (solar thermal and photovoltaic) in the building environment.
