The first solar power plant in Switzerland was put into operation in 1992 on the Mont-Soleil - the name of the place fits in perfectly. Meanwhile, it has been expanded several times. The solar power plant can be visited. A pre-registration is necessary.

The Mont-Soleil solar power plant was connected to the grid in February 1992. At that time it was the largest photovoltaic system in Europe.
