Integration of solar PV in a Norwegian energy system,
This paper investigates the potential role of solar photovoltaic (PV) in a Norwegian future energy system, focusing on the trade-offs between land use and increased RES integration.
Following regulations for the Norwegian solar PV industry is critical. The supply companies acknowledge that any equipment that is delivered to Norway should be translated in a Scandinavian language with a Norwegian user manual for installation. Other regulations refer to CO2 footprint.
In this report, we explore the conditions for Norway to engage in the production and use of solar photovoltaic (PV) technology, both nationally and globally. To analyze the Norwegian conditions, we perform an innovation system analysis of the Norwegian PV industry to identify strengths and weaknesses.
The Report concludes and clarifies – not surprisingly - that Norway needs power expansion by way of more “green"/renewable energy, larger and more powerful grids, and a more efficient use of energy in order to meet such long-term challenges.
First, the regulatory environment linked to the use of PV in Norway is a barrier, and relates both to size of potential installation, grid integration as well as reporting issues. Second, the removal of subsidies has stalled market growth in Norway.
