Solkompaniet

About Solkompaniet

Solkompaniet stands as a prominent full-service entity in Sweden's large-scale solar power sector, specializing in the development, construction, and management of solar energy solutions. The company was established in 2010 by Lars Hedström and Petter Sjöström, both of whom have been actively involved in the solar energy field since 2002. Their journey began with building smaller installations and conducting preliminary studies, which confirmed solar as a viable method for property owners to lower operating costs and advance sustainability efforts. Hedström, with a Ph.D. from KTH Royal Institute of Technology, and Sjöström's shared vision for a sustainable world have been foundational to the company's direction. Operating throughout Sweden, the company serves a diverse client base that includes property owners, companies, investors, and landowners. The business model is comprehensive, offering turnkey solutions that cover the entire project lifecycle from initial consultation, feasibility studies, and strategic planning to installation, maintenance, and operations. Solkompaniet's revenue is generated through the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) of solar projects, as well as ongoing service and management contracts. The firm has positioned itself as a key partner for entities looking to invest in renewable energy, increase their return on investment, and contribute to Sweden's energy transition. Solkompaniet's core offerings include the development of large-scale solar parks and the installation of extensive solar roofs. They have a track record of delivering some of the largest solar projects in the Nordic region, including Sweden's largest solar park at 18 MW and the country's largest solar roof for Apotea.se. The company is also involved in energy storage solutions, providing battery systems that allow clients to store and use energy during peak times. A key differentiator is its deep expertise in engineering and constructing facilities specifically adapted for Nordic climate and terrain conditions. The company structure includes Solkompaniet Park EPC AB and a wholesale subsidiary, Light Leap, which distributes a full range of photovoltaic products. In 2020, AxSol, a subsidiary of the Axel Johnson group, became the majority owner, providing significant stability and long-term perspective.
