What’s Happening to Solar Tax Reduction in Sweden? For years, many homeowners, have relied on the 0.6 SEK per kilowatt-hour tax reduction for private individuals who feed excess solar electricity into the grid (commonly called the ‘60-öring’). This is set to be removed starting in 2026. If the tax reduction disappears, solar producers will be left exposed to volatile spot prices, which increasingly turn negative during sunny, low-demand hours. According to Mölndal Energi , the removal of this reduction could drastically reduce the payback time and return on investment for solar installations. And as SvD reports, the situation may get worse. In some cases, producers could be forced to pay to sell their electricity. This is already happening in parts of Europe, and as solar capacity increases, Sweden is not immune. Why Batteries Change the Equation Here’s the good news. Battery energy storage systems (BESS) can protect you from these risks and unlock entirely new value. When paired with batteries, your solar installation no longer needs to sell during low-price hours. Instead, you can store the electricity and use it later when prices are high. You can also avoid buying expensive electricity altogether. On top of that, integrating batteries supports ESG performance by increasing energy independence and extending the lifecycle of critical resources through circular use. At Rebaba, we build battery systems from upcycled EV batteries. That means: Strong sustainability impact Made
