Vertical Solar, Reinvented - with Trygve Mongstad, Over Easy Solar | DeepDive Cleantech #92

In this episode, David Wortmann sits down with Trygve Mongstad, CEO and Co-Founder of Over Easy Solar, the Oslo-based cleantech company redefining solar for urban rooftops.

Founded in 2021, Over Easy Solar is pioneering Vertical Photovoltaics: a plug-and-play solar system for flat roofs, green roofs, and buildings with structural limitations. The company’s solution enables the direct integration of bifacial, vertically mounted PV modules, bringing clean energy generation to rooftops previously considered off-limits. It’s a modular, plug-and-play solar solution that doesn’t just produce clean energy, but also supports biodiversity and climate adaptation.

David & Trygve discuss: → Why vertical PV makes sense for underused flat rooftops → Benefits for installers, building owners, and city planners → The intersection of solar energy and climate-resilient green roofs → European manufacturing vs. offshore production decisions → Pilots in Norway, Spain, and the road to U.S. market entry → What’s next: capital strategy and scaling plans through 2030

Must-listen for anyone working on solar deployment, urban sustainability, or the next phase of distributed energy infrastructure!
