Photovoltaic electricity potential

In Switzerland the available/adequate surface for solar panels deployment is estimated to be 140 km2 for roofs and 55 km2 for frontages [1]. Assuming that 40% of this surface is used for the installation of PV panels with a 25% electric efficiency, then the photovoltaic potential is 25 TWh.
