Is solar PV part of the off-grid system?

Despite this, Solar PV is part of the off-grid system and respondents state that Solar PV is continuously being more and more implemented in the Swedish electricity system and thus, an important synergistic relationship with other developments in technology and markets exist.

Is solar PV a good option for off-grid rural electrification?

Grid-parity is much driven by subsidies but, even without subsidies, the self-sustaining system of Solar PV was already in 2010 the least cost option for off-grid rural electrification with bright promises for the developing countries (Breyer and Gerlach, 2013).

Does Sweden have an off-grid economy?

Despite the possible net utility, components in terms of networks and institutions are limiting the potential value for operating a self-sufficient household towards the grid in Sweden and thus, implicitly, favours an off-grid scene instead.

Is Nilsson energy an off-grid project?

The project taken into consideration as a point of reference is an off-grid project received from one of the aforementioned respondents, namely Nilsson energy. The conducted empirical data have been analysed to leave its raw state of presentation and enable a more legible set of findings (Blomkvist and Hallin, 2015).

Should Sweden be completely off-grid?

In Sweden, when it comes to completely off-grid, it has to be a person that just wants to be self-sufficient because it will be so much more expensive than staying connected to the grid (Hojko , 2020).

Can off-grid solutions reduce energy costs?

off-grid solutions could, over time, generate lower costs for household energy (Nilsson, 2020). However, it is certainly not only depending on the cost development of self-sufficient solutions but also from pricing mechanisms in the grid-connected electricity system.
