Solar system on grid Norway
Solar energy shines in Norway
This is why Norway is an excellent location for solar cell production. Virtually every single kilowatt powering Norwegian households and mainland industry comes from renewable hydropower. The ecological footprint of solar panels made with materials from Norway is therefore extremely small.

Solar Power in the Land of the Midnight Sun
Currently, almost 90 % (which corresponds to approximately 7,000 photovoltaic systems) of the total installed solar power in Norway is connected to the Norwegian power grid. This means that there is only a small portion of solar panels in use in Norway, which operate on a stand-alone and independent basis.

How does solar power work in Norway?
Solar power is only produced during the day, thus it must either be used immediately, stored or sold via the central electricity grid. In Norway, production of solar energy can offload the tapping of water reservoirs. Smart grids and digitization: Most Norwegian households will soon be equipped with smart meters.
How many solar panels are there in Norway?
Currently, almost 90 % (which corresponds to approximately 7,000 photovoltaic systems) of the total installed solar power in Norway is connected to the Norwegian power grid. This means that there is only a small portion of solar panels in use in Norway, which operate on a stand-alone and independent basis.
Are Norwegian solar panels eco-friendly?
The ecological footprint of solar panels made with materials from Norway is therefore extremely small. REC Solar’s factory in Fiskå in southwestern Norway has even been awarded a certificate for production of the world’s cleanest silicon. Not only is Norwegian silicon production the world’s cleanest, it is also the world’s most energy efficient.
Do companies know about solar energy in Norway?
During interviews, some firms however, point out that they experience a limited attention and knowledge about PV. As a general indicator of attention to PV, we searched news media and parliamentary databases to observe the frequency of mentioning of solar energy compared to other renewable energy technologies in Norway.
Does Norway need a solar power plant?
In contrast to many European countries, Norway does not have fossil power plants that need to be replaced by renewable electricity production. Norwegian hydropower is currently so cheap that power companies do not consider it attractive to build solar power plants in Norway.
How will solar energy impact Norway?
Together with wind, solar energy will account for most of the replacement of fossil fuels. Norway is closely linked to the European energy market. Regardless of the growth of solar in Norway, the development in the EU will have consequences for Norwegians.
