"And maybe this will enable us to establish a new solar-based industry in Europe", he says. Bellmann is a Senior Business Developer at SINTEF Industry and is heading the international EU-funded solar panel project called Icarus. Solar panels currently represent 60 percent of global growth in renewable energy. From quartz to crystalline silicon
In the remote Svalbard archipelago of Norway, situated in perpetual winter darkness, a ground-breaking project has been completed: the installation of the world''s northernmost ground solar panels. This innovative initiative holds the potential to assist isolated Arctic communities in their transition to clean energy.

The pilot project, to be installed in the late summer of 2021, will undergo testing for at least a year. The photovoltaic (PV) panels will cover 80 sq m and tower less than 3 metres above the sea surface, Equinor said today.
Nevertheless, Norway is making great strides in developing the technology, materials and solutions needed to make use of the largest energy source in our solar system. Look closer, and one will find all the elements needed for solar companies to thrive: access to clean energy for manufacturing, innovative technology milieus and a commitment to
The solar power industry is experiencing robust growth in Norway, driven by the government''s ambitious target to increase solar power production to 8 TWh, a 20% rise, by 2030. Policies initiated by the Norwegian Parliament, including the requirement to use solar power or local energy in state-owned construction projects, are behind this growth.
A good example of the growing Norwegian solar business is NorSun, a leading supplier of premium mono-crystalline silicon wafers 2023, NorSun was awarded a EUR 54 million grant from the EU Innovation Fund for a 3-GW expansion of current ingot and wafer capacity in Årdal in Vestland county. "We were very pleased to receive this award. It sends a
Solgrid is the project developer of Furuseth Solar Power Plant, which received an approved license earlier this year. The investment decision for Furuseth Solkraftverk has also been approved and Solgrid is now ready to build Norway''s first industrial solar power plant.
Norway is particularly well-positioned to produce solar power on water surfaces in both offshore and inland environments. Floating solar is a relatively new technology, and as of today a niche technology in solar power

Façade-mounted solar panels are a rarity in Norway, where flat-roof installations dominate. Yet the unique challenges of Nordic winters—low-angle sunlight and icy conditions—make façades surprisingly efficient in capturing solar energy during colder months.
Norway is particularly well-positioned to produce solar power on water surfaces in both offshore and inland environments. Floating solar is a relatively new technology, and as of today a niche technology in solar power generation.

The stadium uses vertical panels developed by the Norwegian startup Over Easy Solar, which had piloted its invention on other buildings in Norway before securing the contract to cover the football
In Norway, around 97% of the country''s energy already comes from hydro-power, though sustainable home design extends well beyond the concept of clean energy. Most homes, highlighted by National Geographic,
Business Norway showcases Norway''s key industries, green and sustainable solutions for export and foreign direct investment opportunities. | Team Norway | Powered by Innovation Norway The building blocks of solar panels are solar cells. And the building blocks of solar cells are silicon wafers. Bloomberg New Energy Finance projects that
Figure 1 Norway Solar Capacity Yearly Analysis Source: Statista. The figure shows the capacity of solar panels in megawatts over the years for Norway. As mentioned earlier, Norway previously had little demand for solar panels due to low solar capacity, but since then researchers have developed better and more efficient solar panels, which has
Snow, cold and hardly any sun for four months of the year: at first glance, Norway might not seem like the ideal place for a prospering solar energy industry. Nevertheless, Norway is making great strides in developing the technology, materials and solutions needed to make use of the largest energy source in our solar system.
The total investment in the solar power plant is around NOK 40 million, and according to the plan, it will be completed during the autumn of 2022. For the Energy companies Østfold Energi and Akershus Energi, it is important to contribute to realize Norway’s first solar power plant, and thus lead the way in investing in solar in Norway.
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.
With a 2030 target of 8 TWh of solar energy annually, equivalent to about 5% of Norway's average yearly output, this initiative responds to potential power deficits anticipated from 2027 onward. Norway's current solar production at 0.454 TWh.”
In Norway, around 97% of the country’s energy already comes from hydro-power, though sustainable home design extends well beyond the concept of clean energy. Most homes, highlighted by National Geographic, are equipped with smart metres, which empower homeowners to harvest solar energy, store it, and sell it back to energy companies.
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.
