The Swiss Federal Council, Switzerland’s federal executive authority, recommended rejecting the Solar Initiative without a counterproposal on 11 November 2026. Submitted on 10 December 2025, the initiative proposed mandatory solar installations on suitable buildings, walls, parking areas and other structures, with specific exemptions. The government cited existing photovoltaic expansion targets and financial support measures. It argued that compulsory installations would interfere with property rights and shift energy policy away from incentives. The Council also raised concerns about summer electricity surpluses, additional grid interventions and cantonal responsibilities. It questioned whether sufficient skilled workers would be available for such extensive photovoltaic deployment.
