How to find Planning Applications
As per EnG71a, all planning applications for PV systems outside of building zones must be issued publicly. This means that the complete dossier of information regarding the construction of the planned PV system must be accessible to the general public.
However, finding these dossiers can prove difficult and so following you will find a guide on how to find planning applications, split up by canton. The guide is not yet exhaustive as there is only a handful of cantons where there are plans to build any such PV systems.
This guide will be expanded if and when necessary.
