6 FAQs about [Norway concentrating solar power]

How popular is solar energy in Norway?

With regards to general social acceptance of PV in Norway, a survey executed by Kantar, shows that a large proportion (89%) of the Norwegian population are positive towards solar energy as an energy source, which is rated higher than other renewable energy technologies such as wind power (Kantar, 2020).

Why are new solar installations gaining popularity in Norway?

Due to the high cost of electricity, there is currently a strong demand for new solar installations. Between January 2023 and early June 2023, Norway added 101 MW of new solar PV capacity, bringing the country's total installed solar PV capacity to 459 MW as of June 2023.

How much solar power does Norway have in 2023?

About 5% of the solar power in Norway had an installed capacity of more than 50 kW in 2023. In 2023, most of the solar power in Norway is installed on the roofs of households and industry, and primarily cover their own consumption. As of 31 March 2023, there are no dedicated solar power plants in Norway.

How many solar plants does Norway have?

Norway reached 597 MW of cumulative installed PV capacity spread across 28,170 solar plants at the end of December, according to new figures from the country's grid operator, Statnett, via its Elhub subsidiary. The country added about 300 MW of new PV installations in 2023. By comparison, it installed 152.7 MW in 2022 and 42.7 in 2021.

Why is Norway a good choice for solar energy solutions?

This has led to Norway to become an expert in devising solar energy solutions for out of the way places. Safedesign has designed a rooftop safety system that eliminates the need for scaffolding and makes solar panels more affordable. Industry was also bitten by the solar energy bug.

Does Norway have a solar market?

Downstream national (deployment, integration and use of PV in the Norwegian market): The Norwegian market for PV has grown in recent years and we show that an increasing number of firms have entered the industry. However, annual and cumulative installations in Norway are much lower than neighbouring countries with similar solar resources.
