A new solar community is emerging in Glarus

Glarus, September 2021

Technischen Betriebe Glarus is building its third solar system based on the participation principle on the roof of the gymnasium of the Cantonal School in Glarus. The largest solar community to date is being built there on an area of 666 square meters.

The Technischen Betriebe Glarus ( tb.glarus ) are building a solar system on the roof of the gymnasium belonging to the Glarus Cantonal School. Private customers can buy their desired area of solar panels there and receive a fixed amount of solar power in return for 20 years.

By participating in such a solar community, tenants without their own roof also have the opportunity to subsidize locally generated solar power. Another advantage is that you don’t have to worry about investment costs, planning or maintenance, according to tb.glarus in a press release .

This emerging solar community is the third that tb.glarus is realizing. Two solar communities have already been successfully put into operation at the branch garden gym in Netstal GL. With its 666 square meters, the new facility will be almost twice as large as these two combined.
