Rise in Solar Energy in Norway
As mentioned earlier, Norway previously had little demand for solar panels due to low solar capacity, but since then researchers have developed better and more efficient solar panels, which has led to a large increase in solar capacity (from 15 MW to 152 MW) within a range of 5 years. This increase in capacity also reflects the demand for solar
