Modern solar panels are not only more efficient but also more affordable, making them capable of generating electricity even in Finland''s challenging northern climate.
Solar panels produce the most energy in Finland from March to the end of September. Thanks to the long daylight hours in summer, Finland receives nearly as much solar radiation as Denmark or
In Finland, solar electricity has so far been a financially competitive alternative only if the self-consumption rate has been high. Now, however, the situation is changing, as solar farms are
Solar power is purely produced domestic electricity: it strengthens energy self-sufficiency, promotes society''s separation from foreign fossil energy, accelerates electrification, and brings work and
Take the Lahti School District project: 5,000㎡ of rooftop panels now generates 85% of their annual electricity needs. "The system pays for itself through energy savings and feed-in tariffs," explains
Solar energy in Finland is used primarily for water heating and by the use of photovoltaics to generate electricity. As a northern country, summer days are long and winter days are short. Above the Arctic Circle, the sun does not rise some days in winter, and does not set some days in the summer. Due to the low sun angle, it is more common to place solar panels on the south side of buildings instead of on the r
About four-fifths of Finland''s solar electricity currently comes from solar panels on the roofs of small houses and housing companies. However, grid operator Fingrid has estimated that the
Our panels are efficient 410–435 Wp models, and our power output guarantees are among the longest in the industry. All components in our systems represent top-tier quality and are carefully selected to
Finland''s northern location places limitations on the amount of annual solar energy production, but it offers an excellent addition to electricity production in the spring–autumn season.
