Summary

Solar Thermal has made slow progress on the Swedish market compared to other countries, and also compared to other renewable energy sources in Sweden. Against this background, lack of installers working with Solar Thermal was identified as one of the main barriers. The reason for this was mainly a lack of knowledge amongst the installers, and a quite 'hot' market for the more traditional working areas for installers. In order to get more installers interested, a training course was established in 1999.
