Coupling heat pumps with district heating

Researchers in Sweden have analyzed the impact of a hybrid heating system combining heat pumps and district heating on five real buildings. The analysis showed that residents were able to save up to €2,768 ($3,159) compared to a scenario without source coupling.

Midsummer bags 15 MW CIGS production line order

Swedish thin film solar specialist Midsummer announced the order of a SEK 143.5 million ($14.8 million) turnkey line with a capacity for 15 MW from an undisclosed Swedish industrial and defense group.

All agrivoltaic system designs at a glance

Researchers in Sweden and Italy analyzed the economics of one-axis, vertical, and elevated PV systems for agrivoltaic applications, finding that overhead agrivoltaic systems may perform better the further south they are installed. The discounted payback period and levelized cost of electricity were also calculated and compared.

The Hydrogen Stream: Axpo reports progress on automated H2 project

Axpo has started remotely controlling a 2.5 MW hydrogen production facility (HPF) in Switzerland, while Statkraft says it will halt new green hydrogen projects amid market uncertainty.

Alight inaugurates Sweden’s largest solar park

Swedish independent power producer Alight has completed a 64 MW solar project near Stockholm. The site in in Hallstavik is now the largest PV facility in the country.

The Hydrogen Stream: Scandinavia, Italy may produce grid hydrogen by 2030

Aurora Energy Research says the global electrolyzer pipeline now totals around 1.3 TW, with 114 GW in development and 32% expected online by the end of 2026. The firm cites stronger EU policy support and growing momentum in hybrid power purchase agreements (PPAs).

Volvo launches battery energy storage system with integrated EV charger

The Swedish manufacturer has launched an integrated all-in-one system which features a 450-540 kWh battery energy storage component and a 240 kW DC fast charger. The system is designed for powering sites, whether in grid-connected or island mode.

Using LiDAR data to improve modeling of PV system tilt, azimuth

Researchers in Sweden have developed a method to use LiDAR data to enable more precise tilt and azimuth modeling of solar PV and solar thermal capacity at a regional or substation level. The model could enable aggregators and grid operators to improve grid planning.

Swedish grid operators reluctant to integrate batteries

A report from Svensk Solenergi says connection to the electricity grid is a significant obstacle to the expansion of battery storage technology in Sweden, with grid operators often hesitant to connect large-scale projects.

How much time do homeowners spend acquiring a rooftop PV system

Scientists have conducted a survey and analyzed transaction costs of residential PV projects. They focused on the time spent searching for and assessing information, as well as the time spent on aspects related to financing, permits, and contracts. Scoping information was the most time-consuming task.
