Harald Desing

Harald Desing is a researcher at the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (Empa), where he is known for his work in energy and infrastructure. He recently gained attention for co-authoring a controversial study proposing a model for state-funded solar energy provision in Switzerland, aiming to create a 'solar basic supply' that would make solar power accessible to citizens at no cost. His vision sparked significant debate among economic representatives who criticized the feasibility and implications of such a proposal, particularly regarding energy storage and the associated costs.
