**Latitude is not a limit:** If solar PV can become the backbone of a Nordic nation’s energy system, its viability in temperate and equatorial regions is unquestionable. The “Nightless Night” proves that extreme summer generation can offset winter deficits when paired with wind power.
**Solar PV is the low-cost enabler of sector coupling:** The true value of solar PV extends far beyond the power grid. It is the catalyst for the [Power-to-X Economy](https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijhydene.2023.08.170). By oversizing PV to run electrolyzers and electric boilers during peak sun, industries can store energy as molecules (hydrogen/e-fuels) and thermal energy, bridging the gap between summer sun and winter demand.

… During summer, when electricity is the cheapest
