The Swedish company delivers solar energy solutions to both businesses and private individuals. “We supply our solar solutions to a diverse range of customers, including industrial, commercial, and private clients”, tells Robert Lenhov, CEO of Skapa Energi. “Our focus is primarily on industrial and commercial properties, which account for approximately 80% of our revenue. The remaining 20% comes from private customers. This distribution reflects our expertise and capacity to handle larger-scale projects, although we continue to serve private homeowners who seek sustainable energy solutions for their residences.

Operation along the coast
Skapa Energi's operations are primarily concentrated in Western Sweden, specifically along the coastal region from Strömstad in the north to Malmö in the south. This geographic focus allows the company to deliver high-quality service and maintain close relationships with its clients.

However, the long-term ambition is to expand the reach and offer solar installation services nationwide across Sweden. “This expansion will enable us to bring sustainable energy solutions to a broader audience while maintaining the same level of quality and customer care,” Robert Lenhov explains.

Components from European suppliers
Skapa Energi primarily works with European brands for its solar components, including solar modules, inverters, mounting systems, and storage batteries. The primary reason for this is the reduced climate impact associated with shorter transportation distances and better working conditions.
Sweden: Less residential – more commercial PV installations
“Sustainability is key to us and a priority throughout our supply chain. Choosing European manufacturers aligns with our commitment to reducing our environmental footprint”, Lenhov explains. “Some of the manufacturers we regularly use include REC for solar modules, Kostal and SMA for inverters, and K2 and Nordmount for mounting systems. These brands are known for their high quality, reliability, and commitment to sustainable practices.”
REC is Norwegian, Kostal, SMA and K2 from Germany, Nordmount of Swedish origin. Skapa Energi sources its components from trusted Swedish and German distributors, as these partners ensure access to high-quality products from reputable European manufacturers.
Quick respond to market demands
This approach also allows the company to respond quickly to market demands and provide its customers with the latest advancements in solar technology. “One of the main challenges we face is the high price of climate-neutral and high-quality products compared to market-leading alternatives”, concludes Robert Lenhov. “Despite the clear benefits of choosing sustainable and ethically produced components, many customers are still inclined to opt for lower-cost options. We are continually working to educate our customers about the long-term value and importance of choosing sustainable solutions, even when the upfront cost is higher.” (Carina Aspenberg)
