Abstract
The evaluation of the potential of a large grid connected PV-installation using existing soundbarriers along motorway and railway lines was carried out in 1987/1988. Due to the conclusion of the feasibility study, the Swiss Government has commissioned the authors to construct the first 100 kW pilot installation in the Swiss Alps. This demonstration power plant shows the feasibility of this approach and has been completed and gone on grid at the end of 1989. Using the existing foundation of the soundbarriers along Swiss motorways should reduce the unit price of electricity produced. The plan to build three more similar 100 kW installations will demonstrate the cost reduction of similar plants. The unit price for PV produced electricity for 1989 is in the range of SFr. 0.82 to 1.16/kWh (US$ 0.53 to .75/kWh). Further installations should cut this cost down 50% before the year 2000. (author)
