CHThe article discusses the growing trend of installing solar batteries in homes due to increased solar energy production and challenges in efficiently using surplus electricity. It cites data showing a 43% increase in solar energy production in July 2026 compared to the previous year, attributed to both higher sunlight and more photovoltaic installations. The article highlights the issue of excess energy being produced during peak daylight hours when consumption is lower, leading to inefficiencies. Industry experts like Anna Plancherel from Swissolar and Jérôme Menoud from Sungrid argue that battery storage allows for better utilization of solar power by storing surplus energy for later use. The article also notes declining costs for batteries and incentives from cantons such as Neuenburg, which offer up to 15% financial support for energy storage investments.
