Norway’s national football stadium has the world’s largest vertical solar roof

Vertical solar panels are proving to be a new solution for northern regions, yielding 20 per cent more energy than traditional panels.

These are not traditional flat roof panels. The mini, square-shaped solar panels have two key features that distinguish them from those typically seen on buildings: they are bifacial, meaning they have two active sides, and they are installed vertically.

In June 2024, Ullevaal Stadium in Oslo became home to the world’s largest vertical solar panel installation on a roof, placing the stadium at the forefront of renewable energy innovation.
