Vertical Solar at High Latitudes: A New Opportunity for Solar Energy
Traditionally, people have associated solar energy with sunny regions in the south. Historically, photovoltaics have deemed areas far north as less relevant. This view is now changing: A recent article in PV Magazine describes the Arctic as a new frontier for solar. The latest report from the International Energy Agency IEA PVPS Task 13, titled Photovoltaics and Energy Security in the Greater Arctic Region, provides a more detailed and technical perspective on how solar perfo

Free App to Measure Albedo On-Site for Solar Projects
Looking for the app? Go the Albedo App now. Measuring albedo on a rooftop is becoming increasingly important for bifacial and vertical solar installations, where reflected light can significantly influence energy yield. For vertical solar panels, high albedo can increase the solar energy yield by up to 40%. Yet for many projects, albedo is still treated as an assumed value rather than something that is actually measured on site. Solar installers and consultants often ask the

Vertical PV Installation in Oslo: Insights on Profitability at High Latitudes
A installation at Oslo’s Ullevaal Stadium is challenging conventional wisdom about solar energy in northern climates. The 248 kWp vertical solar system, featuring 1,242 panels from Over Easy Solar, has demonstrated remarkable performance—especially during the winter months. This system produces nearly 220,000 kWh annually. What’s particularly notable is that the vertical installation was more profitable in February than a comparable horizontal system was in June. This is larg

Løren School: Oslo’s First Green Roof with Vertical Solar Panels
In 2022, Løren School in Oslo became the site of Over Easy Solar’s first green roof pilot project, integrating the Vertical Photovoltaic (VPV) Unit from Over Easy Solar with a sedum roof. Following the success of this initial phase, the second phase was installed during the summer of 2023, marking the first full-scale installation of Over Easy Solar’s technology. Today, the project has a total capacity of 46 kWp, covering an area of about 500 m² of the school’s roof. The vert
