Discover Switzerland's oldest solar power plant.
The Mont-Soleil solar power plant was put into service in February 1992. At that time, it was the largest photovoltaic facility in Europe. This power plant, whose primary purpose is not production but research and development, covers the energy needs of nearly 120 households. In 1996, the Mont-Soleil site also hosted Switzerland's first wind power plant. In 2017, the new visitors' pavilion was inaugurated, giving a new breath to the guided tours of the solar power plant and wind turbines. These tours allow visitors to learn more about renewable energy and how the power plants work.
