About
PV Mont-Soleil is a renewable energy company headquartered in Saint-Imier, Switzerland specializing in Solar.
The Mont-Soleil photovoltaic extension project is a regional initiative to expand the existing solar power plant in the Jura region of Switzerland. The project combines photovoltaic energy production with sustainable mountain agriculture and biodiversity preservation. It specifically addresses Switzerland's urgent winter electricity supply needs by generating at least 10 GWh annually, with production concentrated during winter months (November-February). The installation uses ground-mounted panels at 60-degree inclination, which produce four times more winter electricity than roof-mounted systems in lower elevations. The project emphasizes reversibility—panels are bolted rather than cemented—and includes CHF 1 million in environmental compensation and monitoring measures. Scientific research partnerships with BFH and other institutions track agri-PV cohabitation outcomes, landscape integration, biodiversity impacts, and agricultural adaptation to climate change.
