How much solar power does Gothenburg have?

Seasonal solar PV output for Latitude: 57.7065, Longitude: 11.967 (Gothenburg, Sweden), based on our analysis of 8760 hourly intervals of solar and meteorological data (one whole year) retrieved for that set of coordinates/location from NASA POWER (The Prediction of Worldwide Energy Resources) API: Average 6.05kWh/day in Summer.

Does Gothenburg's climate affect solar energy production?

Despite its potential for solar power generation, Gothenburg's climate presents some challenges that could impact energy production efficiency from photovoltaic panels. Cloudy days can reduce available sunlight, while heavy snowfall may cover panels and obstruct their ability to absorb light effectively.

How much does electricity cost in Sweden?

The average wholesale electricity price in Sweden stood at roughly 0.031 $/kWh in June 2024. 3 The average household electricity price in Sweden was 0.29 $/kWh in the first half of 2023. Sweden’s grid is part of the larger Nordic electricity market, which includes Norway, Finland, Denmark, and the Baltic states.

Is solar energy a sustainable technology in Sweden?

The Swedish solar cell market is still limited, with solar energy accounting for around 1 per cent of the total energy generated. In the transition to a sustainable society, wave power may be an important technology in the future, but it is still relatively undeveloped – both in Sweden and abroad.

How many solar PV locations are there in Sweden?

So far, we have conducted calculations to evaluate the solar photovoltaic (PV) potential in 172 locations across Sweden. This analysis provides insights into each city/location's potential for harnessing solar energy through PV installations. Link: Solar PV potential in Sweden by location

When will European energy build a solar park near Helsingborg?

November 2022: European Energy, a Danish-based developer of solar parks, is set to build a 128.5 MW solar park near Helsingborg in southern Sweden. The plant is expected to produce 175 GWh of electricity annually. Production is expected to begin in 2024 after the completion of the project by 2023.
