The total price was 11.70 SEK/Wp. There have been some significant changes in the Swedish residential PV market between 2020 and 2023, for example, the size of the annual market and the number and size of companies working with PV system installations.
Solar PV parks being rolled out above 100 MW do not seem far away, which will likely allow PV parks in Sweden to gain market share more quickly in terms of the total market. In summary, there may be some hurdles in the short term, but in the long term, the Swedish PV market is well-positioned for growth.
The energy price crisis has further accelerated the adoption of solar panel solutions in Sweden. As of August 2022, the average monthly electricity wholesale price reached EUR 190.12/MWh, marking a dramatic increase of approximately 350% from EUR 54.34/MWh in January 2019.
The official statistics provided by grid operators and collected by the Swedish Energy Agency only classify PV system sizes (power) into three ranges: 0–20 kW, 20–1000 kW, and >1000 kW. Table 7 summarises the total installations at the end of 2023 based on this data source.
All the grid-connected PV capacity is collected through surveys sent out by Statistics Sweden, SCB, (Statistiska Centralbyrån) on behalf of the Swedish Energy Agency (Energimyndigheten) to all the Swedish grid operators .
