Summary
The Jämtland County Energy Agency and the Energy advisors have during 2003 implemented the project "Thermal solar energy in detached houses". The project, which was partly financed by the Swedish Energy Agency, aimed to increase the interest and competence according to thermal solar energy in detached houses. The project was mainly based on information and education activities. The evaluation shows that our quantitative objective for the project not have been reached. The installed solar panel area increased with only 245 m2, our objective was 600 m2. The evaluation further shows that our competence related objective has been achieved. Eleven companies in Jämtland now offers sell and installation of products for thermal solar energy, our objective was at least 10. Our appraisal is that the market isn't ready to stand on it's own yet. Therefore projects who aims to increase the usage of thermal solar energy, even in the future should be implemented.
