Sweden Solar Energy Market Size (2024 - 2029)

The market size of the Swedish solar energy sector is projected to expand significantly, driven by rising electricity prices that incentivize the installation of solar PV systems for self-consumption. Despite the temporary setback caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the market has recovered to pre-pandemic levels. However, the growth of the solar energy sector could be restrained by increasing investments in other renewable energy sources like offshore wind energy and hydropower. Nevertheless, Sweden's ambitious goal of achieving 100% renewable energy generation by 2040 is expected to create numerous opportunities for the expansion of the solar energy market.

Sweden Solar Energy Market Analysis

The Swedish solar energy market is expected to have an installed capacity of 2,178 MW by the end of the base year. It is expected to register a CAGR of more than 23.3% during the forecast period.

Though the COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the market in 2020, it has reached pre-pandemic levels.

  • Over the short term, soaring electricity prices incentivized installing solar PV systems for self-consumption, which is expected to be a significant factor driving the market.
  • On the other hand, rising investments in alternative renewable energy sources, such as offshore wind energy and hydropower, are expected to restrain the growth of the Swedish solar energy market during the forecast period.
  • Nevertheless, Sweden's target of achieving 100% renewable energy generation by 2040 is expected to create several opportunities for the Swedish solar energy market during the forecast period.

Sweden Solar Energy Industry Segmentation

Solar energy is a type of renewable energy in which solar panels are used to generate electricity. Solar panels deployed on rooftops or mounted on the grounds are utilized effectively by end users, including residential, commercial & industrial (C&I), and utilities. Solar energy has become the fastest-growing renewable energy source owing to the country's supporting government initiatives and surging investments in renewable energy projects.

The Swedish solar energy market is segmented by location of deployment (rooftop, ground-mounted) and end user (residential, commercial, and industrial (C&I), utility). The report offers the market size and forecasts in terms of installed capacity in MW for all the above segments.

Sweden Solar Energy Market Size Summary

The Swedish solar energy market is on a growth trajectory, with a projected increase in installed capacity over the forecast period. This growth is primarily driven by rising electricity prices, which are encouraging the installation of solar PV systems for self-consumption. However, the market could face some constraints due to increasing investments in other renewable energy sources such as offshore wind energy and hydropower. Despite this, Sweden's goal of achieving 100% renewable energy generation by 2040 is likely to create ample opportunities for the solar energy market. In terms of market trends, the ground-mounted segment in the Swedish solar energy sector is expected to see significant growth. This is due to increased interest and activity in this market segment since 2020. The growth is anticipated to be fueled by private investments and declining costs of PV systems. Furthermore, the rising demand for electricity from the residential and industrial sectors, coupled with escalating electricity prices, is expected to incentivize the installation of solar PV systems for self-consumption, thus driving the demand for solar energy. The Swedish solar energy market is moderately fragmented with several major players contributing to the industry.
