Projects in solar energy

In this prestudy, we will generate knowledge about agrivoltaics in Norrbotten that provides a solid foundation for an effective research project with a pilot test facility. Agrivoltaics may enable profitable local food production and resilient northern farming, but how it should be introduced must …

The SmartPV project will innovate and demonstrate new energy and resource-efficient smart glazing technologies that merges photovoltaic (PV) and smart window approaches for both localized electricity production and enhanced energy savings.

Wind turbine blades and solar panels are essential for the transition to both fossil-free and renewable energy. In order for circular value chains of solar panels and wind turbine blades to reach their full potential, this policy lab will facilitate industry collaboration on policy and regulatory d…

It is crucial to evaluate the combination of long-term crop performance related to the choice of different solar panels, machinery, and energy storage for the expansion of agrivoltaic systems.

Sustainable Concrete Material Leading to Improved Substructures for Offshore Renewable Energy Technologies

Large, low-sloped roofs are an attractive surface for installing solar systems. To effectively utilize this type of roof at northern latitudes, there is a need to practically test and evaluate new designs of PV systems that can increase the power production from solar through reduced snow shading c…

RISE led the Swedish participation in IEA PVPS Task 15, an international collaboration and knowledge exchange project working to improve the conditions for building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV).  

This project will examine technical, economical and legislative challenges and possibilites for combining agriculture and energy production in land-based solar parks in Skåne, so called agrivoltaics systems.

The investment and deployment of solar energy is increasing rapidly in Sweden, both in urban and rural areas. While it is urgent to transition to renewable energy production, we also have a shared responsibility to aim for an inclusive, just, and socially sustainable society.

RISE, in collaboration with Högskolan Dalarna, Swedavia and Friendly Power AB, started a research project to investigate EMC emissions from solar plants. Until September 2022, they built knowledge to convey to the industry about how EMC for solar installations is handled to avoid problems.

The solar industry is growing, but so far it is mainly men with an interest and knowledge in technology who buy solar panels. Why is this the case and how can more customer groups be involved? We use norm-critical analysis and service design to understand how norms connected to gender, technology, …

In the project we are developing an anti-reflective coating on the cover glass of solar collectors, which will result in an increase in the efficiency.

This project focuses on a newly established microgrid in Kungsbacka, connecting a small number of rental apartments with several public sector buildings. The project purpose is to study if and how those living and working in the microgrid interact with it and whether they are, on a system level, ab…
