* Green tech: 15% for panels, 50% for a battery, of 97% of the price, at most 50,000 kr per person and year. Example prices from Numsolar's price list for installers, 2026-11-09. Your installer's price will differ: ask for several quotes. Savings: south roof, 20,000 kWh a year, someone home in the day.
What fits your house?
Pick roof, roof area, power use and car. We give one advice and three options.
Car: at home in the day it charges with solar, else from 17:00.
Our advice: get several quotes. At our example prices even 30 panels (12.6 kW) pays back only in 25.8 years and gives -5,527 kr net over 25 years. A lower price changes that.

Does the roof direction matter?
Yes, more than anything. South gives 2,983 kWh more a year than north with 20 panels.
South-east and south-west are 5% below south, east and west 18%, north 40%. With both east and west, use both; with only north, try the garage.

Does a battery pay off?
Not for your wallet. For backup power and more of your own solar: yes.
- 10 kWh on the reference house (20 panels): saves 1,117 kr more a year, costs 54,820 kr more. Paid back in 49.1 years; the warranty is 10 years.
- The deduction is 50% for a battery, but the panels use most of the 50,000 kr cap per person: one owner gets 27,533 kr (33%) for the battery. Two owners: more.
- The battery earns most by storing cheap night power for expensive hours; that is how our calculator runs it. The flows per season are under Seasons.
- Backup power needs an inverter with a backup function. For the fastest payback: wait with the battery.
What makes the biggest difference to the savings?
Five choices, ranked in kronor.
| Choice | Worth | How |
|---|---|---|
| Right roof face | +2,983 kWh/yr | South instead of north, 20 panels. |
| Fill the roof | +8,461 kr net over 25 years | 30 panels instead of 10. A large part of the price is fixed. |
| Power at midday | +611 kr/yr | Someone home 8–17 versus all away. Laundry, dishes and hot water in the daytime. |
| Charge the car in the daytime | +395 kr/yr | The car takes 859 kWh of solar a year. Charging from 17:00 gives 0 kr. |
| Battery | +1,117 kr/yr, −54,820 kr | Last in line. See Does a battery pay off? |
We count 30 km of driving a day. The charger (often 10,000–15,000 kr, 50% green tech) is not included: you need it with or without solar. If everyone is away 8–17, 57% of the solar power is sold at the spot price.
How much do solar panels give in winter?
Winter gives 3% of the year's solar. Spring and autumn bring 52% of the savings.
Summer brings 47% of the solar power and the reference house sells 45% of it at the spot price (0.45 kr on average). In winter the panels cover 3% of the house's power; every kWh you do not buy is worth 0.95 kr.

What is special about Luleå?
Price zone SE1, Luleå Energi Elnät's grid, 66° north, 3.0 kN/m² of snow.
Luleå is the northernmost large city in Sweden, at 65.6° N. In June the day is 23.1 hours long. At the December solstice the noon sun stands only 1.0° high. Luleå is in price zone SE1, where the average spot price is lowest, and has the reduced energy tax. Luleå Energi charges 0 öre per kWh for transfer, only a fixed fee. The ground snow load is 3.0 kN/m².
- Spot price SE1
- 0.45 kr/kWh Average over the last year excl. VAT. SE1: 0.45 kr, SE4: 1.04 kr. A higher spot price makes your own solar worth more.

- 0.00 kr/kWh + 668 kr/month 20 A fuse. No variable fee: your own solar saves the power price, energy tax and VAT, but no grid fee. Source: Luleå Energi Elnät, Prislista Elnät, från 1 januari 2026.
- Sun height
- 48° / 1° At midday at midsummer and midwinter at 65.6° north. The day is 23.1 hours in June, 3.1 in December.

Benefits of solar in Luleå
- 30 panels (12.6 kW) make 11,278 kWh of solar power a year. The same amount of grid power causes about 665 kg CO2e a year; your own solar power avoids it (Nordic power mix, 59 g CO2e/kWh, an average for 2021–2023). Source: IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute, report B11147, 2026

How solid are the numbers?
The same engine as the calculator, example prices, a house without shade.
- Engine: the same as our calculator. Sun position every 15 minutes; power, battery and car hour by hour, one year.
- House: made up, central Luleå, 27° roof, no shade, 420 W panels.
- Weather: PVGIS for the place. Power price: SE1 spot 2025-11-09 to 2026-11-09 + markup 0.05 kr + Luleå Energi Elnät 0.00 kr + energy tax 0.26 kr (the reduced rate in northern Sweden, Swedish Tax Agency 2026) + 25% VAT = 0.95 kr/kWh.
- Price: Numsolar's example price list for installers, incl. VAT, after the green tech deduction for one owner. No charger. Your installer's price will differ.
- Payback = price ÷ first-year savings. Net over 25 years = 25 years of no-battery savings + 10 years of battery savings − price.
- Not counted: panel ageing (about 0.4%/yr), an inverter swap after 12–15 years, a changed power price. They cut the net by about 15%; the ranking holds.

Questions and answers
Do solar panels pay off in Luleå?
No, not at our example prices. Even the best pick, 30 panels (12.6 kW), costs 175,927 kr after the deduction and saves 6,816 kr a year: net -5,527 kr over 25 years, paid back in 25.8 years. A lower price or more daytime use can change that.
Does a battery pay off?
Not for your wallet. 10 kWh saves 1,117 kr more a year and costs 54,820 kr more; paid back in 49.1 years, the warranty is 10 years. For backup power and more of your own solar: yes.
How much do the panels give in winter?
Little. December to February give 3% of the year's solar and cover 3% of the house's power. Summer gives 47%.
Does a north-facing roof work?
It gives 60% of a south roof; the payback is 38.2 years. With another roof face or a garage, use that.
What does price zone SE1 mean for my solar power?
The SE1 spot price averaged 0.45 kr/kWh over the last year. A kWh you use yourself is worth 0.95 kr with markup, grid fee, energy tax and VAT; a sold kWh earns the spot price. SE1: 0.45 kr, SE4: 1.04 kr.
What are the green tech deduction rules?
15% for panels, 50% for a battery and a charger, counted on 97% of the price (the Tax Agency's standard rate, so 48.5% of a battery's price), at most 50,000 kr per person and year. The 60 öre credit per sold kWh ended on 1 January 2026.
