We have hydro electric plants. And theyre enviromentally friendly too
Aldo we ahe lots of mountains making shadow so solar wouldn’t work well everywhere
Do the same but with hydro-elecrtric.
Until next time.
I don’t understand this graph, what is that % ? % of what ?
Im not 100% sure but i think solar also need a minimum of power from the sun so norway is probably not getting that much power out of it even in the summer
Lol it is dark here like half the year, this is no suprise
98% of Norway’s electricity production is hydroelectric dumdum. We don’t need solar, even if it was a good idea this far north.
I wonder what Canada, Sweden, Finland, and Norway all developed countries at the bottom have in common… I give up it’s an unsolvable mystery.
I actually think that we should have more opportunity & funding for home power generation, and in the south of Norway, there is enough sun, even in the winter, to make it a worthwhile investment.
It would help people offset silly electricity prices, and it helps everyone during a dry summer.
Last summer, for example, in the south, power companies had to buy electricity from elsewhere because rainfall and reservoirs were low. Home solar could help offset that in a dry summer, and if there is abundance, they can sell abroad instead of locally.
Solar generates power at the wrong time. Mid-day in the warm season isn’t where we need more generation capacity. Unless a really low cost of storing energy emerges solar just isn’t going to move the needle much in norway.
Nuclear is the way to go in Norway. No earthquake, No tornadoes, No volcanos. Less populated areas. Cold weather. Supply lines to the rest of Europe is already in place.
Why wait?
Are you stupid or trolling? Solar energy is for places with plenty of sun which this country is not known for.
We’re not exactly the best at this, nor do we have the perfect conditions. But without any measurement details this really is flawed.
For instance we have a quite modern measuring system in norway. This means we can measure both directions in a single metering point (consumption is one direction, production is the other). Then for ease we often report the net sum. This means that if you routinely produce as much as you spend it will be reported as 0 kWh.
In other countries its needed to report both directions individually, naturally this gives a much higher basenumber.
A better distribtion would be to show % of consumption in solar production.
In the winter is full on dark and in the summer it rains 9 days out of 10
Norway nor any country north is going to compete with solar in spain, paid for or partially by the state. Even then it seems to fail in spain.
Do you have a graph for Hydro power as well?
I wonder why a country with very limited flat land for solar farms, and months of darkness, might not invest all that much in solar energy

Might have something to do with our shitty weather and the fact like 98% of our power comes is hydroelectricity, why should we build solar panels when we’re a net exporter of clean and renewable electricity.
I don’t mind being last plase. Solar is not our tool to use; at least not large scale.
It’s like telling Australia to use more hydro energy; Not really going to work in a flat nation, and they have better options for their environment.
Laughs in Greece
I don’t know what to do with this information.
I thought y’all didn’t get sun
why would we ever do solar??? we’re already running like 97% on water, and wind is also good, solar is just not a good option in most places here
Solar energy is unrealistic for high latitude countries
I’ve ordered solar for my roof. In general for Norway I think our IT grid is a significant obstacle. Also pushing power to the grid has been a crap deal for a long time because the way we trade energy is stuck in the 80s. My smart meter should buy the energy on demand automatically, and the grid should be organized to automatically route those contracts to the cheapest producer transfer costs included.
My smart meter should be able to tell my neighbors smart meter “yo increase production please cause I’m about to consume some”.
Anyway most inverters need TN 3 phase. My place has TN, but have a 1 phase meter so the grid operator must replace it first. They are very slow. Everyone involved have been slow. It’s been over half a year now.
Rare norway on bottom list
I don’t think pushing for solar energy makes sense in Scandinavian countries. The better choice would be wind or hydro energy.

Lots of sun during winter near Arctic circle…
