The power of a fossil-free planet

A solar farm is a larger solar installation that is installed on the ground for commercial use.

The solar cells are responsible for the conversion of solar radiation into electrical energy and the electricity then travels through cabling to the property or is sent directly to the electricity grid. The electricity is generated in the same way as with a roof installation, the difference is that the solar cells are mounted on the ground.

Solar parks are relevant for landowners or farmers who have a large area to install solar cells. In other words, this can be both large companies, government agencies and private individuals who run a business that wants to produce and/or sell solar electricity.

A solar park is a profitable and long-term investment. It has become increasingly popular for individuals and companies to build solar cells on land because it is generally cheaper than rooftop installations if land is available.

A solar farm that is connected directly into the electricity center of a property and will primarily be used to cover consumption. The surplus will be sent out on the public electricity grid and thus fed out to nearby properties that can take it from the green electricity. If the house uses the produced electricity for charging electric cars or batteries, most of the produced electricity will cover that need rather than being sold on the grid.

Plants that are directly connected to the electricity grid send all the produced power out to the local electricity grid, thus the electricity produced will primarily be consumed by nearby properties.

In addition to the fact that a solar park contributes to local production of renewable energy, there are also several other advantages:

* Nature is not polluted, neither during installation nor operation. Svea Solar uses monocrystalline solar panels which, as well as other components of the park, do not contain any environmentally hazardous substances.
* All interventions made in the land are reversible and it is possible to restore the land to its existing condition after the life of the park.
* Solar parks do not cast shadows and do not emit any noise to the surroundings.
* Own electricity production that protects against variations in the price of electricity on the general electricity market.

Electricity is produced even when it is cloudy.

In order for a solar park to be as profitable as possible, there are some basic conditions that you should keep in mind. Here are some important factors.

Large area:
The more solar cells, the more solar energy you can produce. Having said that, a large area is required to build a solar park. It is also when you start building large that the cost per installed solar panel drops and the investment becomes really profitable.

Suitable land:
In order for the solar park to be as profitable as possible, the ground should be pileable for a cost-effective installation. Not sure if your land has the conditions to become a profitable business? We have solar cell experts who are happy to help you with the calculation.

Nearby power grids:
A prerequisite for a solar park to be built is that it can be connected to the electricity grid or to a property. Check the conditions with your local network operator to obtain a cost estimate for the connection fee.

Yes. Svea Solar is constantly working on the development of solar parks on a larger scale all over Sweden. A landowner who has a suitable area larger than 15 ha can lease out his land and receive annual income.

A solar farm that is installed correctly requires very little maintenance. Regular routine inspections are carried out at the same time that a lot of information can be retrieved via a monitoring portal where you can easily see if something needs to be fixed.

No. Solar panels need to capture as much sunlight as possible to maximize electricity production, therefore all solar panels are anti-reflective. There are several examples of solar parks along airport runways. Among other things, Svea Solar has built the 5.5 MW Nya Solevi solar park located at Säve Airport in Gothenburg.

30–50 years is a typical lifespan for a solar farm.

The Nordic climate in Sweden means that wear on the panels is less than in many other countries, therefore the panels last longer. The sensitive component of a solar park is the inverter that converts direct current to alternating current. Inverters can be expected to be replaced once during the life of the park.

After the life of the park, it is possible to restore the land to its existing condition by picking down and recycling the parts. But there is also the possibility of replacing the components and continuing to operate the park for a longer time.

Site visit and consultation: We visit you on site to go through the project and assess the conditions.

1. Design and layout: Based on your requirements, we design a solar park and its layout.
2. Purchase of components and construction: We seek permission to start construction, order equipment and build the park.
3. Commissioning: Your solar park is ready to produce renewable energy throughout its lifetime. With a service agreement with Svea Solar, we manage monitoring and annual maintenance.

The process takes approximately 2-5 months from when the first quotation has been sent until the solar park is ready for the customer.

Depending on the size of the park, it can take anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months. Smaller plants of 500 kW take about 2 weeks to implement, while a large-scale solar park of 5-10 MW takes about 2 months to build.
