A photovoltaic system, also called a PV system or solar power system, is an electric power system designed to supply usable solar power by means of photovoltaics. The cost of producing photovoltaic cells has dropped because of in production and technological advances in manufacturing. When there is more local generation than consumption, electricity is exported to the grid.

A photovoltaic system employs solar modules, each comprising a number of solar cells, which generate electrical power. PV installations may be ground-mounted, rooftop-mounted, wall-mounted or floating. Module performance is generally rated under standard test conditions (STC): of 1,000 , solar of 1. Overall the manufacturing process of creating solar photovoltaics is simple in that it does not require the culmination of many complex or moving parts. The term "photovoltaic" comes from the φῶς (phōs) meaning "light", and from "volt", the unit of electromotive force, the , which in turn comes. Solar cells produce direct current electricity from sunlight which can be used to power equipment or to There have been major changes in the underlying costs, industry structure and market prices of solar photovoltaics technology, over the.

Thin-film solar cells are a type of solar cell made by depositing one or more thin layers (thin films or TFs) of photovoltaic material onto a substrate, such as glass, plastic or metal. In 1970, team at created the first gallium arsenide (GaAs) solar cells, later winning the 2000 Nobel prize in. With the advances in conventional (c-Si) technology in recent years, and the falling cost of the feedstock, that followed after a. Despite initially lower efficiencies at the time of their introduction, many thin-film technologies have efficiencies comparable to conventional single.

Switzerland's federal parliament amended the Energy Act in 2022 to expedite the approval process for new solar plants, reflecting a shift toward sustainable energy amid the country's nuclear phase-out. Solar power in Switzerland has demonstrated consistent capacity growth since the early 2010s, influenced by government subsidy mechanisms such as the implementation of the in 2009 and the enactment of the revised Energy Act. In 2021, Switzerland's photovoltaic (PV) installations increased to 685 MWp from 475 MWp in 2020.
