- We see that there is a strong increase in photovoltaic systems.

This is due to increased climate interest, higher electricity prices, cheaper solar panels, the green deduction but also a concern for the world situation.

Many want to become self-sufficient in electricity, says Elin Larsson, analyst at the Swedish Energy Agency.

The company Solkompaniet has been around since 2010 and invests in large-scale photovoltaic systems.

On the day SVT visits, panels are put up on the roofs of a tenant-owner association in Liljeholmen in southern Stockholm.

- It has been incredibly favorable to sell solar panels in recent years.

Both climate, energy prices and also a great deal of uncertainty in the world contribute to the increased interest.

We are also noticing an increased interest in larger facilities.

We have received many calls and inquiries in the past month, says Axel Alm, CEO of Solkompaniet to SVT Nyheter.

Solar cells account for one percent

Today, there are approximately 100,000 photovoltaic plants in Sweden.

The large increase has taken place in recent years.

But electricity from solar cells still only accounts for a small part, about one percent, of all the electricity we consume.

But the Swedish Energy Agency predicts in its short-term forecast almost a quadrupling during the period 2020-2024.

- We believe that we will see a similar increasing development in the coming years.

What speaks against is that the price of solar panels will not fall much more in price and that there may be problems with deliveries and raw materials, says Elin Larsson at the Swedish Energy Agency.

Swedish-produced electricity today comes mainly from hydropower, nuclear power, wind power and cogeneration.

Believe in 5-10 percent by 2040

According to the Swedish Energy Agency's forecast, approximately 5-10 percent of Sweden's total electricity use could come from solar energy in 2040,

provided that a number of promotion measures are implemented.

But at Solkompaniet, it is believed that interest is growing stronger.

- We see that that forecast is at the bottom in relation to the demand we meet and how strong the economic case for solar is today.

Our goal is for solar to be at least ten percent of Sweden's electricity production by 2030, says Axel Alm.
