What is the largest PV rooftop plant in the Nordics?

The largest PV rooftop plant in the Nordics has been completed with 24.000 panels spanning 100,000 sqm. The project feeds the DSV’s 175,000 sqm logistic center in Landskrona, Sweden, with renewable energy. The project utilizes 34 units of Sungrow’s SG350HX string inverter.

Which Nordic countries are embracing solar PV technology?

During the recent surge in solar PV installations, the Nordic countries – Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Denmark – have increasingly embraced solar PV technology, defying their northern geographical challenges.

Does Finland have solar power?

In 2023, solar PV provided 1% of the electricity into the Swedish grid (Electricity Maps, 2024). Finland's journey in solar energy is characterized by steady progress. The country's installed solar PV capacity reached approximately 1 GW by the end of 2023 and numbers are expected to almost triple by 2030 (Solar Power Europe, 2023).

Does Denmark have solar PV?

Denmark's commitment to integrated energy systems and smart grid technologies further enhances the potential of solar PV, integrating it seamlessly into the national energy mix. In 2023, solar PV provided 9% of the electricity into the Danish grid (Electricity Maps, 2024). In Sweden, solar PV installations have grown exponentially.

Is solar PV a new power source in Norway?

However, in our Energy Transition Outlook we find that solar PV is probably the only new power source in Norway able to add capacity in the coming years. Wind, hydropower or nuclear require extensive legal and licensing frameworks and they have much longer build times compared to solar PV.

Why are solar PV installations increasing in Sweden?

In Sweden, solar PV installations have grown exponentially. As of 2023, the country had a total installed solar PV capacity of 4.1 GW. This surge is largely attributed to government initiatives such as investment support schemes, which cover up to 20% of the installation costs for solar PV systems.
