A new study highlights the potential of installing solar panels on building roofs and walls across Norway, estimating a technical capacity of 87 GW. The research, led by Hassan Gholami from Multiconsult, finds that up to 36% of this potential, or 31 GW, could be feasibly integrated into the grid. This integration would align with electricity demand, supporting Norway’s renewable energy goals. However, exceeding this threshold could lead to energy imbalances during peak production times. The study emphasizes solar power as a key complement to Norway’s hydropower, enhancing energy security.
