6 FAQs about [Grid integration of solar energy Sweden]

Are grid-connected PV systems feasible in Sweden?

The potential and feasibility of grid-connected PV system are measured within Swedish conditions regarding technical and economic aspects. A new weather model for high-latitude areas is developed. The impacts of climate change are evaluated based on historical and predicted big data. Economic analysis regarding consumer behaviors are analyzed.

Who owns the electricity grid in Sweden?

The backbone of the electrical grid, the national grid, is owned by the Swedish state and managed by the Swedish National Grid (Svenska Kraftnät), whereas power utility companies own the regional and local grids. The Energy Markets Inspectorate (Energimarknadsinspektionen) is the regulatory authority over the electricity market.

Can decentralized PV systems help with sustainable transitions in Sweden?

There is not much land for large-scale power generation plants and “wasted areas” such as rooftops should be utilized to fulfill the increasing demands. Therefore, the study will focus on decentralized PV systems with integration of grid. The aim of the research is to better design the PV systems to help with sustainable transitions in Sweden.

What type of PV system is used in Sweden in 2020?

The typical LCOE of two type of PV systems in 2020 in Sweden, namely centralized ground mounted PV parks and decentralized roof mounted PV system for residential villa system of about 10 kWp, have been thoughtfully investigated in .

How much solar power will Sweden produce in 2040?

However, the integration of solar power in the Swedish electricity system amounts today to only 0.4%, which is far away from the prediction by International Energy Agency and the Swedish Energy Agency that 5%–10% of electricity demands will be satisfied by PV production in 2040 [ 9, 10 ].

Does Sweden have a solar subsidy program?

There are currently no retrospective measures applied to any subsidies for PV in Sweden. There were no rural electrification measures in Sweden in 2020. As from the first of August 2018 PV and solar thermal system installations on buildings are exempted from building permits in general.
