Analysing policy directions for utility‑ and small‑scale solar
While many countries prioritize expanding wind and solar power, Norway faces challenges, including public opposition to wind energy and delayed adoption of solar power.
Solar energy is experiencing a vast growth both in Norway and globally. Solar energy will play a pivotal role in the energy transition from fossil to renewables and provide clean energy to parts of the world where many people still do not have access to electricity.
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.
Norwegians love to be outdoors. They flock to their cabins in the mountains, in the woods or by the shore to spend their weekends or holidays in beautiful, peaceful surroundings. This passion for nature has made Norway one of the most attractive markets for solar cells.
This passion for nature has made Norway one of the most attractive markets for solar cells. Although some of the appeal of cabin life is to take a time-out from technology, electricity is still needed to power lamps, radios and, now, mobile phone chargers.
Solar Technologies Scandinavia is one of Norway's leading suppliers in solar panels and battery storage. The company was founded by key personnel with extensive experience from the construction industry and as technical suppliers. We offer training at all levels of competence in assembly, engineering and all applicable regulations.
By the 1990s, Norwegian manufacturers were already taking the lead in the field. At the turn of the century, the Norwegian company REC was the world's largest producer of polycrystalline solar cells, with the world's most advanced manufacturing facilities located in Norway. Electricity produced by solar cells is the world's cleanest electricity.
While many countries prioritize expanding wind and solar power, Norway faces challenges, including public opposition to wind energy and delayed adoption of solar power.
