Finland adds 227 MW of utility-scale solar in 2025

Finland''s large-scale solar capacity more than doubled in 2025, buoyed by the commissioning of the country''s first solar projects larger than 50 MW. Another record year for ground

Solar energy in Finland

The PV capacity of Finland was (2012) 11.1 MWp. Solar power in Finland was (1993–1999) 1 GWh, (2000–2004) 2 GWh and (2005) 3 GWh. There has been at least one demonstration project by the YIT Rakennus, NAPS Systems, Lumon and City of Helsinki in 2003. Finland is a member in the IEA''s Photovoltaic Power Systems Programme but not in the Scandinavian Photovoltaic Industry Association, SPIA.

Solar energy in Finland

Solar energy in Finland is used primarily for water heating and by the use of photovoltaics to generate electricity. As a northern country, summer days are long and winter days are short.
