Description
The goal is to increase installations of integrated pellet- and solar heating systems on the Swedish heating market. By developing new systems for pellet and solar heating that are tested, the market should be stimulated.

The project is financed by Energimyndigheten and participating companies and is a cooperation project between Chalmers, SP, Högskolan Dalarna and the solar and pellet industry. The project is planned to continue until end of 2010. More than 20 Swedish companies participate in the project.

Within the project the market for combined solar and pellet heating systems should be analyzed and suitable system concept should be identified. In cooperation with the companies Systems and test methods should be developed. Systems should be evaluated by laboratory measurements and field measurements. The experiences should be put together in a handbook.
