Flying higher than ever on solar power! 🇨🇭 On August 12, SolarStratos achieved the highest solar and electric flight in history. ✈️ At the controls, Raphaël Domjan reached an altitude of 9,521 meters during a 5-hour 9-minute flight aboard the experimental aircraft HB-SXA, powered solely by solar energy and taking advantage of rising warm air currents. ☀️ This record, still awaiting validation by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI), would surpass the one set in 2010 by Bertrand Pic

The Swiss authorities are committed to achieving net-zero CO2 emissions by 2050. Solar power is one of the main planks of this strategy. Renewable energies are to meet the growing demand for electricity as nuclear power plants are being decommissioned. Complementary solar solutions, like solar panels on motorways, are needed to help meet this ambitious goal. Read more here: http://s.swissin.fo/FX8twJZ | swissinfo

Switzerland has built a solar furnace that concentrates sunlight to produce extreme heat—hot enough to melt metal scraps from the luxury watch industry. Instead of gas or electric furnaces, the system uses pure solar thermal energy, dramatically cutting emissions in high-precision manufacturing. It proves even luxury industries can adopt zero-carbon processes. Important Details: • Uses concentrated sunlight for extreme heat • Melts metal without fossil fuels • Applied to luxury watch recycling •

Switzerland turns train tracks into solar power plants

Around the world on solar power

Join engineers as they create Switzerland's highest altitude solar park on the side of Mutts Dam. Despite the challenges, the dam is situated ideally for harnessing solar energy. Moritz and his team are getting ready to install the last panel. A huge crane gradually lowers the fragile panel, while two workers on either side work with millimetre precision.

Swiss scientists harness solar power

Switzerland has officially redefined the boundaries of renewable aviation following a historic flight by eco-explorer Raphaël Domjan. In August 2025, Domjan piloted the experimental SolarStratos (HB-SXA) to an altitude of 9,521 meters (31,237 feet) above the Swiss Alps, shattering the 15-year-old solar altitude record. The flight, which lasted over five hours, was powered entirely by the sun and rising alpine thermals, proving that electric aircraft can now reach the same cruising altitudes as c
