The programme proposes targeted support for bioenergy plants, renewable-fuel gas turbines and storage facilities to strengthen Sweden’s electricity system, though available funding remains constrained.
Sweden cannot build a robust and resilient energy system without unlocking the potential of local solar generation and energy communities, argue Anders Holmestig of property federation Fastighetsägarnas and Anna Werner of Svensk Solenergi.
Although the EU urges member states to accelerate renewable electricity expansion, Sweden continues to penalise self-consumed solar power through high taxation.
The expansion of PV systems in Sweden slowed in 2024 compared to the previous year, while investment in battery storage increased significantly.
The reluctance of grid operators to fully integrate batteries into their electricity grids is slowing the expansion of renewable electricity generation in Sweden, according to a new report from the Swedish Solar Energy Federation (Svensk Solenergi).
The Swedish Solar Energy Association Svensk Solenergi has released guidelines on how households with solar panels should respond to power outages. The recommendations were presented at the National Conference on Public Health and Defence.
The Swedish photovoltaic (PV) market is expected to continue growing through the end of 2024, driven largely by the residential, commercial and industrial sectors. The magic line of 1 GW of newly installed systems will be crossed.
The Swedish Solar Energy Federation (Svensk Solenergi) has launched a new guideline for fire protection in the installation of stationary batteries, an important step towards increased safety as the use of energy storage systems grows.
The number of newly connected solar PV installations in 2024 in Sweden is back at the same level as in 2022, but far below the record year of 2023, according to new monthly statistics from Svensk Solenergi.
Borgholm, Sjöbo and Skurup are the best in the country when it comes to solar energy. Borgholm residents have now installed 4 times more solar PV per person than the national average according to Svensk Solenergi.
Connections of photovoltaic installations in Sweden were 15% higher in May 2024 than in April 2024. Pre-registrations rose by 1.2 percent, according to Svensk Solenergi.
Falling accidents are one of the biggest risks in solar installations, but with the right protection they can be avoided. The Swedish Solar Energy Federation's (Svensk Solenergi) new checklist makes it easier to create a safe working environment on the roof.
The tax reduction for green technology was introduced with the aim of accelerating the energy transition, but with the Swedish Tax Agency's new interpretation of the legislation, batteries are not eligible for the tax reduction.
Two years ago, the Swedish solar trade association Svensk Solenergi launched its certification of solar installers. This week, the number of certified PV installers exceeded one thousand.
To ensure safe and secure PV installations when demand increases, the Swedish Solar Energy Association (Svensk Solenergi) has developed a new guideline for private individuals and offers its members free certification of installers.
The municipalities Skurup, Sjöbo and Borgholm are the best in Sweden when it comes to solar energy. The people of Skurup have now installed 6 times more PV per person than the national average.
Swedish PV installers and grid companies are working at full speed even in the winter to quickly expand Sweden's electricity production. The number of new PV connections increased by 160 percent in Q1 2023.
The industry association Svensk Solenergi is investing heavily in 2023 in opinion formation to promote the Swedish solar energy industry.
During 2021 a number of 26 500 grid-connected solar power plants were installed in Sweden, with a joint power of 500 MW. That is an increase of 46 percent in comparison to 2020, according to Swedish Energy Agency.
The Agrivoltaic team at Mälardalen University/Sweden has been awarded the Solar Energy Prize of Svensk Solenergi in the Achievement of the Year category for their research project that investigates the possibilities of combining solar cells and cultivation on agricultural land.
Villa Zero, a carbon-neutral detached house, has won the 2022 Solar Energy Award of Svensk Solenergi (Swedish solar energy association) in the category Facility of the Year.
Projects of BIPV specialist ML System (Poland) were awarded in Sweden and the Netherlands with prestigious prices.
In July the PV market grew also significantly stronger than last year, the Swedish solar industry association Svensk Solenergi reports.
