Author: Margrét Meiting Qin (Heima Consulting ehf) - "Iceland Solar Horizon" is an ambitious project to integrate solar power into Iceland's renowned renewable energy grid, which is primarily powered by geothermal and hydroelectric sources. This initiative seeks to use Iceland's long summer daylight hours to create a more resilient and diversified energy system. By deploying advanced photovoltaic technology and innovative storage solutions, the project will mitigate seasonal variability and provide a reliable clean energy source.This strategic move not only reduces Iceland's remaining fossil fuel dependence but also establishes a replicable model for sustainable development in northern climates. "Iceland Solar Horizon" strengthens Iceland's global leadership in clean energy and demonstrates a firm commitment to a sustainable future, directly supporting key Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including Affordable and Clean Energy (SDG 7), Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure (SDG 9), Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG 11), and Climate Action (SDG 13).
