ABCD Horizon V3

Solar folding roofs for 45 motorway rest areas

The expansion of photovoltaics in Switzerland plays a decisive role in the implementation of the energy turnaround and is an important component of the Energy Strategy 2050 for the Federal Council. One way to promote solar energy is to install photovoltaic systems along Swiss motorways.

dhp technology

The young Swiss company develops and builds the worldwide unique solar folding roof HORIZON. In 2017/18, the pilot project was put into operation above the sewage treatment plant in Chur. Meanwhile, a further 15 systems are in operation. By the end of 2023, the first systems in Germany will go into operation, as well as a further eight systems in Switzerland. The solar folding roof was supported by the Swiss Federal Office of Energy, the Swiss Climate Foundation and the European Commission. In 2019, it won the Watt d'Or and the Swiss Solar Prize as well as the Swiss Future Prize 2021.
