The installation of the first Solskifer roof in the Faroe Islands marks the beginning of an important pilot project initiated by SEV, the Faroese energy company, to promote the green transition. The project's goal is to increase the use of sustainable energy solutions on the islands and help reduce carbon emissions. Solskifer is an ideal solution that combines traditional architecture with green technology, making it an attractive option for future buildings.
This first Solskifer roof in the Faroe Islands is not only a milestone for Solskifer but also an example of how small island communities can lead the way in sustainable solutions. With Solskifer, the Faroe Islands can not only participate in the green transition but also preserve their unique architectural style and landscape aesthetics.
Solskifer is designed to withstand the demanding weather conditions of the Faroe Islands, where strong winds, heavy rainfall, and reduced sunlight challenge traditional solar solutions. This innovative technology is therefore perfectly suited to the islands and can help make sustainable energy solutions more accessible to more people.
This pilot project is a step forward for SEV and the Faroe Islands towards a greener future. The project demonstrates that it is possible to combine the best of traditional Nordic architecture with modern, eco-friendly solutions. The Faroe Islands now have their first Solskifer roof, and this marks just the beginning of SEV’s initiative to increase the volume of sustainable energy solutions.
We would like to thank SEV for their trust and collaboration throughout the process. Special thanks also go to Leif Mohr and Malltek for their support. A big thank you to Ebbe and Isak from Malltek, who have done a thorough and professional job with the installation of the Solskifer roof. Their efforts have been key to a successful installation. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with SEV and other stakeholders in their work on the green transition in the Faroe Islands.
