The essay analyzes the obstacles and potentials of solar cell field installations in the trial for land access on Swedish nationally protected agricultural land. Swedish agricultural land fulfills an important function in securing long-term management of land and food supply. Agricultural land is classified as a limited resource in Sweden and hence the protection in the third chapter 4§ of the Swedish Environmental law (1998:808) serves an importance to secure the area of use of the land. The legal assessment and the prejudicial statements made in the Land and Environmental Court's recent judiciary regarding solar cell field installations and wind turbines have led to a complex trial in the possibility to use agricultural for land for these purposes. The law in the third chapter 4§ of the Swedish Environmental law classifies solar cell installations as a significant public interest. The barrier to solar cell field installations on agricultural land lies rather in the longer duration of the claim on agricultural land and the choice, motives, and investigation of alternative locations on another land than the agricultural land.
