Datasets / Total production capacity used in the solar power forecast

The total solar power production capacity used in Fingrid's solar power forecast. Both grid-scale solar and small-scale residential PV are included in the capacity. The small-scale production capacity is based on the production capacity statistics gathered by the Energy Authority from the distribution system operators. It is also updated with estimates based on information that are provided to Fingrid. This total capacity information can be used, for example, to calculate the rate of production of solar power, by comparing it to the forecasted solar production series by Fingrid. This capacity information cannot however be considered as the official amount of solar production capacity in Finland, as it is updated manually and by using estimates.
