Grid analysis - Sunna group

Rapid assessment of electricity grids for solar energy and BESS

Congestion in the Swedish electricity grid is a limiting factor for the green transition and can, among other things, result in delayed connections for new electricity generation. The situation requires strong action and as a participant in the energy market, we have an important role to play. We want to contribute with solutions that enable us to use existing infrastructure more efficiently and create a more robust electricity system using sustainable energy from the sun and battery storage.

Our proprietary platform

We have developed a powerful model and data platform with aggregated grid data to quickly and accurately evaluate the conditions for large-scale solar energy and BESS (Battery Energy Storage System). With the help of our platform, we can quickly evaluate the conditions for the electricity grid in the area including the overlying grid. Combined with grid data, we also apply remote screening to evaluate the project’s conditions as a whole, including analysis of natural values and biodiversity, solar radiation and production simulations.

Our data platform

Unique electricity grid data

Comprehensive database with information on electricity network capacity, connection points and bottlenecks

Enables grid connection

Advanced analysis

We combine solar irradiation data with land conditions and environmental parameters to assess the suitability of the land at an early stage

Data-driven approach

Data-driven decision making

Access to insights and analysis that are unique to the industry and give us a competitive advantage

High success rate

Secure data

We are actively working with cybersecurity and protecting our data, as well as ensuring compliance with directives such as NIS-2

Internal access only

Unique electricity grid data

Through our data platform, we have a unique insight into the electricity grid. We have mapped all the electricity grid companies and can therefore quickly analyze suitable connection points near your land. Our dataset has been built and curated for over three years and contains all relevant information about the electricity network in your area. We continuously collect qualitative data that we store in our platform and that will benefit you in case of a potential partnership.

Successful projects

It is important that you, as a landowner or partner, feel confident that your project in collaboration with us will actually happen. At an early stage, our project developers get a clear picture of all the project’s aspects around grids, solar radiation, protected land and natural values and more in our dynamic platform. This has allowed us to make data-driven decisions and keep the success rate of our projects high.

Through our data-driven process, we can greatly reduce the time it takes to evaluate whether a site is suitable for a solar park. This allows us to quickly assess and realize large-scale solar power on your land in a responsible way.

The project development team's own words about the platform

Our data platform is visualized in a GIS tool that helps us develop high-probability projects with short lead times for permitting and grid connection. The platform is the cornerstone of our project and business development and enables our team to quickly identify whether properties are suitable for solar farms.

The cornerstone of our project development

The platform helps us to develop the best projects, in the most suitable locations, where we are most likely to have short lead times for permitting and grid connection. We are picky, and our tool helps us build a portfolio of projects we believe in.

– Filippa Larsson, business developer

Faster and better analysis

Thanks to the large amount of selected and visualized data sources, I can quickly identify whether properties are suitable for PV parks or not, both from a plant, permit and grid perspective.

– Gustaf Sundbüe, business developer
