The purpose of this paper is to examine the pros and cons of compulsory acquisition of rooftop space for mass upscaling of solar panels. It attempts to find what uses a legal tool for compulsory acquisition could bring to society, as well as what the cost of such a tool would mean for each landowner. By looking at existing law it is also the hope of the writer to establish whether there is already a functioning way to accomplish this kind of mass development of rooftop-mounted solar panels. While it is not included in the paper to describe what a potential new piece of law would look like, it concludes that if Sweden was to implement a way to accomplish a mass development of this kind, it should be done by creating a separate act to limit how and by whom the compulsory acquisition can be performed.
