Norwegian startup About easy solar energy has used what it claims to be the world’s largest installation on the roof of vertical solar panels in Tromsø, north Norway.
The 320 kW of solar array has 6,400 vertical solar panels installed on the top of the logistics Terminal Tromsøterminals. According to the company, it was mounted by three people in four days
About Easy Solar says that vertical solar panels are beneficial on northern wide -liters such as Tromsø, which is located in the polar circle, because they can catch more energy from the low corner light in the north of the north, can generate more electricity in the morning and afternoon, and without stay of snow accumulation, improving the performance of the year round.
“Vertical solar panels are very well suited for northern widths and snowy regions, so we hope that this will be a model project for others who want to invest in sustainable power production of flat roofs in the north,” said easy Solar CEO Trygve Mongstad. “As far as I know, this is now the largest solar system in the city and the world’s largest vertical installation on the roof.”
The installation of Tromsøterminals surpasses the previous record for the largest vertical solar panels on the roof that is set by over Easy Solar on top of the Norwegian National Football Stadium in August 2024. The system turned out to be profitable In February there is a comparative horizontal solar installation in June.
In January a case study analysis from over Easy Solar found vertical solar panels on the roof on the roof overtake Conventional solar systems on the roof during snow -covered months, with an energy yield up to 30% higher.
