On grid solar Finland

The power system is expanding, driven by wind and

However, by 2030, the goal is for wind power to produce half of Finland''s electricity, with solar power contributing 5–10 per cent. Power plants, transmission lines, substations and connections are now being built at a brisk

Solar energy and solar electricity in Finland | LUT

Solar energy is available in Finland also during the winter. Façade installations work well in the Nordic countries because the sun is very low and vertical installations don''t gather snow. Since 2019, the capacity

What to Know About the Finnish Grid System

To meet Finland''s 2035 carbon-neutrality goal, efficient solar development and understanding the grid system is crucial. The Finnish government has set a bold goal to achieve carbon neutrality by 2035 and to

6 FAQs about [On grid solar Finland]

How much solar power will Finland have by 2030?

In addition, Finland’s transmission system operator Fingrid has received wind and solar power connection enquiries amounting to a total capacity of over 100 megawatts. Fingrid assesses that by 2030, the overall solar power plant capacity in Finland may climb to seven gigawatts.

What is the main grid in Finland?

Finland’s main grid includes approx. 14,500 km of transmission lines and over 120 substations (2023): The main grid serves electricity producers and consumers by enabling them to trade nationally and internationally. The majority of electricity consumed in Finland is transmitted via the main grid.

Can solar power improve the profitability of buildings in Finland?

LUT University has investigated how the profitability of solar electricity could be improved in different types of buildings in Finland. Researchers have debunked myths related to the orientation and dimensioning of solar photovoltaic systems and sales of surplus electricity.

How is Fingrid connected to Estonia?

Finland is also connected to Estonia by HVDC transmission links. The joint Nordic system is also connected to the Central European system by HVDC transmission links. Fingrid participates in ENTSO-E, the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity.

How much solar energy does Finland produce a year?

Areas with the most favorable conditions can produce roughly twice the solar electricity that Finland does. In the best areas, the total radiant energy is about 2500 kWh per square meter a year. In Finland, the corresponding figure is approximately 900 kWh per square meter – slightly more in the most southern parts and slightly less up north.

Is solar energy a viable alternative to self-consumption in Finland?

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 being built to produce electricity to sell directly to the main grid. Globally speaking, solar energy generation is a massive business.
