Solar energy system application in Finland

LUT has modeled an emission-free energy system and demonstrated that the share of solar energy in Finnish energy production should rise to 10 percent by 2050. That would mean a leap from the current 635 megawatts to 35 000. The IEA Photovoltaic Power Systems Technology Collaboration Programme (IEA-PVPS) is one of the collaborative R & D agreements established within the IEA and, since 1993, its participants have been conducting a variety of joint projects in the applications of photovoltaic conversion of solar energy into electricity.

How does renewables Finland track the development of solar power in Finland?

Renewables Finland currently maintains three up-to-date lists and statistics that track the development of solar power in Finland. The first is an annual statistic covering operational solar power projects, while the second lists projects under construction and third lists .

Why is solar power so popular in Finland?

On a global scale, solar power is one of the fastest growing forms of energy generation – its size and importance in the world’s energy mix is huge, larger than wind power. With the development of technology, industrial-scale solar power production is becoming more common in Finland.

Is solar PV a viable alternative to wind power in Finland?

However, solar PV is currently in Finland the second least cost option for new electric power generation after wind power. The Energy Authority () collects the official data of grid-connected PV electricity in Finland from the grid companies on yearly basis. The results of the survey are published on late June.

How will a hybrid energy system work in Finland?

In Finland, a number of hybrid projects are in the pipeline, combining wind, solar and also energy storage. These solutions will balance our energy system. On a global scale, solar power is one of the fastest growing forms of energy generation – its size and importance in the world’s energy mix is huge, larger than wind power.

Does Finland need wind power?

In addition to wind power, we also need plenty of solar energy, for which Finland has excellent prospects. Solar power is particularly well suited as a counterpart to wind power. These two emission-free energy sources complement each other: solar energy is available in summer and during the day, while the highest winds occur on average in winter.

How much solar power will Finland have by 2030?

In addition, Finland’s transmission system operator Fingrid has received wind and solar power connection enquiries amounting to a total capacity of over 100 megawatts. Fingrid assesses that by 2030, the overall solar power plant capacity in Finland may climb to seven gigawatts.
