New solar panel installation in the heart of Uppsala for UAF

January 20, 2026
Uppsala Akademiförvaltning has several properties of cultural and historical value. For the third time, they have chosen to collaborate with SBP for solar panel installations on their historic buildings.

SBP is currently completing another solar cell project for Uppsala Akademiförvaltning (UAF), which manages real estate and agricultural properties in and around Uppsala. UAF has a long history of managing properties linked to Uppsala University and other educational institutions, making it an important player in the city's cultural heritage and real estate portfolio.

This time, SBP is working on two buildings with high cultural and historical value along the Fyris River, in the heart of central Uppsala. The buildings, which were built during the 19th century, also reflect the city's history as a center for academia and culture. Their proximity to both Uppsala University and the cathedral has made them an important part of academic life and the city's identity for several centuries.

– This project is unique, as the historical buildings require great care and precision during the installation of the solar panels, explains Milos Dinic, project manager at SBP.

The work began during the summer of 2024 and the project is expected to be ready for operation in early October.

Careful planning has been crucial, as the roof surfaces vary in slope and the project's location in central Uppsala has required adaptation to traffic and limited street space.
