Solar isn't economically feasible in Sweden. Too far north, too much snow, and during winter it's dark for months. Might work better in the far south, but not good enough.
- Gwypaas 4y agoThat's why Sweden's solution must be centered around off-shore wind and dispatchable hydro together with solar in the summer. Sweden is after all located in one of the windiest places on earth. https://globalwindatlas.info/en https://globalwindatlas.info/en
- fulafel 4y agoSolar is used in Sweden, and more being built (see eg https://www.renewableenergyworld.com/solar/swedens-largest-solar-energy-deal-signed/ https://www.renewableenergyworld.com/solar/swedens-largest-s...) It's true that in the winter it's a bit crap but in the summer the long days of the north are a boon. It doesn't need to be great in all times of the year to be "feasible" though since it's just one part of the production palette.
