Founded in late 2022, Swedish startup Solar Power Accelerator has hit the ground running. The company has announced that it’s just commissioned its first greenfield microgrid in Lomma, Sweden.
Solar-as-a-service
Solar Power Accelerator is a Swedish microgrid developer that installs commercial utility scale rooftop solar. It’s expected that the Lomma microgrid will immediately generate revenue for the company as it sells surplus electricity to the spot market or through power purchase agreements using a photovoltaic solar-as-a-service model.
When in island mode, the electricity from the company’s microgrid can be used by the building’s owner or by neighboring properties.
The installation also includes Milepost AB’s electric vehicle (EV) hypercharging infrastructure.
“We implement our ecosystem vision to improve energy efficiency by simultaneously addressing shortages both in the power grid and the transportation system and road network. This is achieved through the enabling of charging of electric vehicles with rooftop based solar electricity from our microgrids at an optimal pricing point,” said Pär-Olof Johannesson, CEO of Solar Power Accelerator.
