Gothenburg''s Solar Cell Boom: A Beacon for Sustainable Living
Volvo has been collaborating with Sweden''s solar cell technology leaders, Exeger, to develop solar cells that can be integrated into the car''s roof surface.
A comprehensive analysis framework for roof-mounted solar PV systems is developed. Different scenarios are considered for the potential installation of PV systems. The potential capacity is 727-956 MWp and annual yield is 626-801 GWh for Västerås. 504 km usable roof area and 65-84 GWp installed capacity are estimated for Sweden.
Despite its potential for solar power generation, Gothenburg's climate presents some challenges that could impact energy production efficiency from photovoltaic panels. Cloudy days can reduce available sunlight, while heavy snowfall may cover panels and obstruct their ability to absorb light effectively.
Seasonal solar PV output for Latitude: 57.7065, Longitude: 11.967 (Gothenburg, Sweden), based on our analysis of 8760 hourly intervals of solar and meteorological data (one whole year) retrieved for that set of coordinates/location from NASA POWER (The Prediction of Worldwide Energy Resources) API: Average 6.05kWh/day in Summer.
So far, we have conducted calculations to evaluate the solar photovoltaic (PV) potential in 172 locations across Sweden. This analysis provides insights into each city/location's potential for harnessing solar energy through PV installations. Link: Solar PV potential in Sweden by location
