Finland is significantly expanding its solar power capacity as part of a recently approved dual strategy—a new medium-term climate plan and a comprehensive energy and climate strategy—designed to meet ambitious national and EU climate targets, including carbon neutrality by 2035. The government’s approved plans, coordinated by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment, are bolstered by a range of Green Tech Investment Incentives in Finland: A Guide and include not only a major increase in solar energy but also support for heat pump installations and the development of large-scale offshore wind projects. These efforts form a comprehensive approach to slash emissions and enhance energy security, extending to transport reforms like promoting low-emission vehicles. However, critics, including the Finnish Climate Panel, caution that the plans do not adequately address the critical issue of declining forest carbon sinks, a key factor for achieving the 2035 target. As the nation accelerates its clean energy transition, understanding the basics of solar panel manufacturing will be crucial for developing a robust domestic industry.
