Sweden’s largest solar collector field has started producing heat. When the project is finished, the area of the solar collectors, provided by Absolicon, will cover 3 000 m2 and supply 1.5 MW worth of heat between 73 and 120 °C.
In October 2020, we began the process of building the solar field at Högslätten in the town of Härnösand, Sweden, the first large-scale solar heat project for Swedish district heating in 20 years. The first phase was finished in September 2021, meaning that the field now has around 1000 m2 of active solar collectors producing heat for buildings in the area.
Solar fields such as this can produce large amounts of heat efficiently without burning any fossil fuels. The energy goes right into the district heating system as heat, which means that no energy is lost by converting from electricity into heat, an issue that other renewable energy sources may face.
As part of this first phase, the solar field is also a demonstration facility where people from all over the world can come to study the possibilities of using concentrated solar energy for heating purposes. This makes the potential impact of this plant much higher by communicating the benefits of solar heat and educating people in parts of the world where the energy grid is much more fossil dependent than the Swedish one.
The plant is expected to be operating at full effect in 2023. If you want to learn more about the project, including some of the technical specifications, check out our website:

Coal coalition is not free from carbon. Fossil fuels is nothing but carbon. On the contrary, according to you greenhouse effect seems to be harmful to use the solar energy. Though the diffusion of sunlight is risky it will necessary to take care of dissemination or radiation. Take care of ozone sphere. Provide the barrier against ultraviolet ray. But it is essential to take care of the base of magnetism. We have faith & respect on your decisions. We ought to. AL HAMDULILAH.
