Swiss Buildings Set to Supercharge EV Charging as AMP IT and Eaton Launch Solar-Driven Power Network
AMP IT and Eaton join forces to boost solar EV charging in Switzerland, aiming for 30% growth, cheaper rates, and a smarter energy future.
- 30% Target: Project aims for a 30% increase in on-site solar-powered EV charging across Switzerland.
- Cost Savings: EV charging customers could see significant price drops at the plug.
- Grid Stability: Initiative helps ease stress on the national power grid.
- Energy Security: Integrates battery storage and solar to boost resilience.
A seismic shift is underway for Swiss electric car drivers and building owners. Eaton, a global powerhouse in intelligent power management, has teamed up with Swiss leader AMP IT SA to offer a groundbreaking EV charging service that could change the way Switzerland powers its vehicles and its buildings.
The collaboration is not just about building more charging points—it’s about making them smarter, greener, and cheaper by using local solar energy and cutting-edge energy storage, all without building owners needing to handle any of the complicated tech themselves.
Supported by the Swiss Federal Office of Energy, this project just won top honors in the nation’s RechargeAuPoint program for innovation in charging infrastructure. It’s poised to reshape multi-residential, office, and industrial spaces across the country, with global expansion on the horizon.
Q&A: What Makes This Swiss EV Charging Project So Unique?
Q: How will this project lower EV charging costs?
AMP IT and Eaton’s technology enables buildings to generate and consume their own solar energy. This slashes overall electricity costs, and those savings could soon be passed directly to EV charging customers.
Q: Why does grid stability matter for EV drivers?
With thousands of EVs plugging in, the Swiss grid risks overloading at peak times. This partnership’s smart energy management—using solar and batteries—helps smooth out demand, keeping the grid stable and reliable even as more vehicles come online.
Q: Do I need to own the charging stations or solar panels?
No. The new “Charging-as-a-Service” model means building owners simply sign up—AMP IT and Eaton handle the financing, installation, and operation. All the benefits, none of the hassle.
How AMP IT and Eaton Turn Buildings Into Energy Powerhouses
The project uses Eaton’s innovative “Buildings as a Grid” concept. Think of each large office or apartment block as a mini-energy hub. With a coordinated system linking solar panels, battery storage, and EV chargers, buildings help locally produce and balance renewable energy.
Together with partners including real estate funds, local utilities, and EPC firms, the ecosystem brings next-gen energy management to Switzerland. Academic institutions are also watching closely, looking at how these building-based microgrids can drive future energy transition strategies.
