Centrale solaire Tolochenaz — Utility-scale solar farm
Tolochenaz, canton de Vaud
Moderate action, warming reaches about 2°C
Low risk
Climate exposure score
This is how exposed Centrale solaire Tolochenaz is to climate-related disruption in a world that warms by 2°C. A higher number means more disruption to output, more maintenance, or more risk to the structure itself.
Exposure is expected to peak around 2050.
What is driving the risk
Heatwave frequency
+32 by 2050Very hot days slightly reduce panel efficiency at peak production hours.
Precipitation extremes
+23 by 2050Hail and intense downpours are the main physical damage risk.
Drought stress
+13 by 2050Dry spells mainly add dust, which lowers output between cleanings.
Temperature variability
+21 by 2050Larger temperature swings add thermal stress to mounting hardware.
Projected exposure, 2025 to 2050
Each line shows how exposure changes if global warming follows that path.
What this means for you
Expect a modest efficiency loss during heatwaves and a slightly higher chance of hail damage. Both are well covered by standard maintenance and insurance.
