More and more electricity used in Switzerland is coming from solar power.
Figures from the Swiss Solar Monitor shows 11% of the country’s needs are now generated by the sun.
Experts suggest that figure could be as high as 80% by the year 2035, but it needs a suitable legal framework, they warn.
The industry employs 11,000 – that figure is expected to nearly double over the next few years.
