The CRF is Switzerland’s state feed-in tariff for renewable resources. It is a support scheme guaranteeing a fixed price per kilowatt hour to plants that have been through the application process. Operators of small photovoltaic installations (<10 kWp) receive instead of the CRF a one-off contribution of approx. 30% of the investment costs. Switzerland is not the only country to support solar power production with a feed-in tariff.
