Becquerel Sweden provides strategic advice, documentation and research regarding the market, industry and regulations in both the Swedish and international solar PV industries. We assist companies, authorities as well as other public and institutional organisations.
Tekn. Dr. Johan Lindahl
johan@becquerelsweden.se, 0768-511 773
Johan Lindahl has extensive experience of market and regulatory issues concerning the photovoltaic market, both at national and international level. Partly as Secretary General of the European Solar Manufacturing Council and partly from the work as Swedish representative in the international organization IEA PVPS for ten years, where the national experts compile the annual changes in installation volumes, price development and regulations at national level and together analyze the global trends. But also from the previous role as the industry organization Swedish Solar Energy's spokesperson with responsibility for the association's advocacy work, investigations, consultation responses, statistics and advocacy towards politicians, media, authorities and various industry players.
Johan also holds a PhD in thin film solar cells of the type CIGS from Uppsala University, and from there knowledge in solid state physics/chemistry, thin film deposit with different vacuum methods, material characterization and electrical measurements of solar cell structures.
Robert Johansson
robert@competic.se
Robert has a background as a Master of Science in Engineering Physics from the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH). He has extensive experience in system development and has, among other things, been involved in developing eye control systems at Tobii. Since then, he has mostly worked with building web solutions and apps, including a course management system used in education in sustainable development.
At Becquerel Sweden, Robert is working on a project to detect PV installations from aerial photos and a project to calculate the optimal angle of PV parks for different locations in the Nordic region.
Gustav Öhgren
gustav@becquerelsweden.se
Gustav holds a Master of Science in Energy Systems from Uppsala University, with a focus on solar energy and power grids. He has a special interest in solar power simulations and during his master thesis at Bequerel Sweden he implemented a snow loss model in Python to improve the accuracy of hourly solar power simulations. Previously, he has worked with both statistics collection and data analysis related to the PV market and IEA PVPS Task 1.
Currently, he is mainly working on solar power simulations to quantify smoothing effects in low voltage grids.
Erik Lindvall
erik@becquerelsweden.se
Erik holds a Master's degree in Engineering Physics from Uppsala University, specializing in computational science and machine learning. He has a passion for engineering solutions that promote sustainable development and a strong interest in remote sensing. In the spring of 2024, Erik wrote his master's thesis at Becquerel Sweden, where he further developed a classification algorithm to map decentralized photovoltaic installations in Sweden.
Erik is currently working primarily on data-driven remote sensing through the development of neural networks that automatically detect and estimate the area of decentralized solar plants from aerial photos so that these can be used to provide a deeper insight into the solar power industry in Europe.
