Amperio team worked for a photovoltaic solar power plant in Onnens VD, with an impressive output of 8.3 MW and a surface area of 50,000 m², is a remarkable achievement in the field of renewable energy in Switzerland.
Occupying the equivalent of 7 soccer pitches, the plant consists of 31,000 photovoltaic panels that generate electricity for around 2,300 Swiss households.

Weight management and ingenious solar panel design
One of the main challenges of this project was to manage the weight of the solar panels on the roof of the warehouses. Traditional solar panels weighing around 18 kg/m² would have been too heavy for the roof structure. The company developed lighter solar panels weighing no more than 10 kg/m², including the structure.
Secure and reliable electrical distribution
Another crucial challenge of this project was the electrical distribution and connection of the installation. To ensure optimum and secure electrical distribution, it was necessary to install robust and reliable power rails. This is where Amperio GmbH played a key role in the project’s success.
Amperio GmbH contributed to the electrical distribution of the plant by supplying almost 1 km of 2000A energy rails (busbars) with IP67 protection.
These rails ensure a reliable and efficient connection between the photovoltaic panels and the electrical distribution system. Thanks to this technical contribution from Amperio, the energy generated by the 31,000 panels can be safely transmitted to supply Swiss households with green electricity.
