National Survey Report of PV Power Applications in Sweden
The data from the grid operators'' statistics about the installed PV power in Sweden has a geographical resolution down to the municipality level. The expansion of PV takes place at
Solar PV accounted for 8% of Sweden's total installed power generation capacity and 2% of total power generation in 2023.
A total of 460 MW of solar power was installed in Sweden during the first half of the year, which corresponds to an additional electricity production equivalent to the annual consumption (5,000 kWh/year) of 80,000 villas with geothermal heating. Also see: Further growth of the Swedish PV market
Hydroelectric power accounts for more than half of Sweden's electricity production. More than 1900 hydroelectric power stations operate across the country. Forty-five produce 100 MW and over, 17 produce 200 MW and over, and 5 produce 400 MW and over.
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.
