Solar energy has many advantages compared to most other energy sources. Large-scale solar parks can be built quickly and the production is both emission-free and quiet. And the electricity can be produced at a low cost. Various surveys also show that solar parks are the form of energy most people want to see invested in.
Globally, large-scale solar energy is the fastest growing form of energy in the world. But in Sweden, the largest solar park is 20 hectares, even though the conditions for large-scale parks are so good. We want to change this by building parks of 50 hectares and more.
Sweden’s goal is to have 100 percent renewable energy production by 2040. As we see it, large-scale Swedish solar energy is one of the absolute best ways to reach this goal, especially if we want to keep electricity prices down at the same time. Here is a list of 10 advantages of solar energy.
1.
Building a solar park is fast, which is good because we need more energy right now.
2.
Sweden is one of Europe’s largest countries in terms of land area. There are also plenty of old peat quarries, industrial sites and forest land with low productivity that are suitable for solar parks.
3.
The production is emission-free and silent.
4.
The life cycle of a solar park is a whopping 45-50 years.
5.
By, for example, allowing sheep to graze among the solar panels, it’s possible to recreate old pastures. So, the solar park contributes to biological diversity.
6.
Solar parks can coexist with agriculture, for example by growing crops or letting animals graze near the solar panels. This allows us to increase the domestic production of both energy and food.
7.
Because solar energy is so cheap to produce, it leads to lower electricity prices.
8.
The annual SOM surveys show that solar power is the most popular form of energy among the general public.
9.
Solar cells produce large amounts of energy compared to how little energy is used to manufacture them. This makes solar power one of the most efficient and climate-smart energy sources available.
10.
Solar power produces the most when the other energy sources produce the least. That is, on sunny days when there’s little wind and in the summer when the nuclear power plants often undergo maintenance.
