Abstract: The article focuses on the innovative work of Swedish inventors Henrik Eskilsson and Anders Olsson, who are developing vertical solar panels designed to efficiently harness solar energy in northern climates where traditional solar systems struggle. Their start-up, Vaja, aims to create a cost-effective vertical tracking system that can withstand harsh winds while maximizing energy production, particularly during low sunlight conditions. The duo's prototypes have shown promising results, producing 25 to 30 percent more energy annually compared to static arrays, and they are currently testing their technology with pilot customers, including Swedish renewable-energy producer Rabbalshede Kraft. Vaja's approach could significantly enhance solar energy viability in regions with challenging weather conditions. [Extracted from the article]
