Five MPs have introduced proposals for multiple tools to boost solar power production in Norway. The proposers argue that Norway is falling behind its target of 8 TWh of solar capacity by 2030, with weak financial returns being the main barrier. They are calling on the government to implement various measures including guaranteed prices, tax exemptions, increased Enova funding, and solar requirements on new buildings.

These are the proposals in the document, not decisions. See the votes for the outcome.
The Storting asks the government to open a consultation on a grant scheme offering support equivalent to a guaranteed price of 100 øre/kWh for electricity supplied to the grid from solar panels on buildings.
The Storting asks the government to propose exempting households from VAT on the purchase and installation of solar panel systems.
The Storting asks the government to ensure that sales of surplus electricity from households remain exempt from taxation and to propose a permanent, predictable framework for this.
The Storting asks the government to increase Enova grants to cover 50 percent of invoiced costs for household solar installations and to remove any cap on production eligibility.
The Storting asks the government to expand Enova's solar installation support scheme to also cover the purchase and installation of battery systems.
The Storting asks the government to propose requirements for solar installations on new buildings and parking areas, and on public buildings and infrastructure where feasible.
The Storting asks the government to propose that utilities offer a 'solar account'—allowing households with solar systems to store surplus electricity in a virtual battery and draw an equivalent amount when needed.
The Storting asks the government to introduce a national scheme for virtual electricity sharing for installations up to 5 MW, including the right to share with neighbouring properties, modelled on Poland's approach.
The Storting asks the government to propose extending the tax exemption for self-produced electricity to cover electricity shared through such schemes.
The Storting asks the government to map which roof areas in Norway are best suited for power production based on solar conditions and grid capacity, including potential projects yielding at least 10 TWh. The inventory should cover both private and public buildings and be publicly accessible.
The Storting asks the government to examine whether new standards and legal changes should be developed to make it safe and simple for households to use portable solar panel systems, following models from countries like Britain and Germany.
The Storting asks the government to initiate binding agreements with Norway's largest grocery and shopping centre chains on a 2030 expansion target based on solar production from their parking areas.
The Storting asks the government to ensure that Norwegian road authorities map and recommend the most efficient routes for solar installations along Norwegian roads where this requires no major environmental intervention, and on noise barriers and other road infrastructure that could house solar capacity.
The Storting asks the government to examine possible designs for a municipal solar tax that could give more municipalities incentive to approve solar power expansion.
