Vehicle-integrated photovoltaics for biofuel-powered transport trucks
DHL Freight Sweden and Denmark-based Green Energy Group announced a one year nationwide pilot in Sweden to test the use of vehicle integrated PV with a fleet of biofuel-powered transport trucks.
Sweden switches on 89 MW hybrid wind, solar project
The first hybrid power project belonging to Danish renewables developer European Energy is a 39.3 MW solar array tied to a 49.6 MW wind facility in southern Sweden.
Sweden’s largest solar plant goes online
The 100 MW Hultsfred Solar Farm, developed by Alight and Neoen, will supply 95% of the energy produced to retailer H&M Group via a long-term power purchase agreement.
Sweden adds 430 MW of solar in H1 2025
Sweden installedx 430 MW of solar in the first half of 2025, with industry group Svensk Solenergi noting slower growth than last year but rising interest in battery storage driven by green tax deductions for households.
CTC launches ‘high-capacity’ air-to-water heat pump
CTC-UK, a unit of Sweden’s CTC, has introduced the EcoAir 720M air-to-water heat pump for residential and commercial sites, with cooling capacity up to 22.7 kW and a seasonal coefficient of performance ranging from 3.41 to 6.35.
Combining PV-driven heat pumps with district heating in multi-apartment buildings
An international research group has investigated how PV-powered heat pumps and district heating could be combined to heat a multi-apartment building in Sweden and have found that, of the three combinations they evaluated, relying on heat pumps as the primary heat source was the “most beneficial solution” in terms of operating costs and environmental impact.
Swedish startup testing silicon anode battery material
Sweden-based Green14, a plasma silicon startup, said its silicon-based anode material is being tested by the battery group at RISE, Sweden’s national research organization.
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.
