Solar energy industry

A source of light, heat, nutrition and life, the sun has been the subject of fascination – and even worship – since time began. But while the idea of harnessing the sun’s energy has always intrigued us, in today’s challenging environmental situation, this is more than a desire: it’s a need. And new technology is now making it a reality.

While fossil fuels are being depleted, the earth has one source of energy that will never run out. An infinite source of energy that renews itself day in, day out, the sun offers a viable and lasting solution to the most pressing environmental and humanitarian challenges of our time.

The amount of energy the sun radiates to the earth every day is 10,000 times the world’s entire energy needs for a year. Capturing just 1% of this power would satisfy the whole world’s energy requirements. 

With the latest technologies making it possible to capture high levels of solar power, by 2030, nearly 4 billion individuals could see their living conditions improve thanks to solar energy. And this can be achieved without affecting the environment. 

Today, there are two ways to capture solar energy: photovoltaic panels that transform solar energy into electricity, and thermal panels, which gather the sun’s heat and convert it into various forms of energy. SwissINSO’s strategy is to apply these techniques to systems that deliver essential services, such as water purification and thermal control of buildings.
