A research project on solar energy Mälardalen University operates, is currently under way at the large solar park just outside Västerås, will contribute to a greater use of solar energy in Sweden. It hopes the project manager, guest researcher Bengt Stridh at MDH.
The interest in the research project is large, according to Bengt Stridh.
– Yes, that one can compare this many systems and that there will be an open report. There is nothing similar in Sweden today, so I think that very many will be interested in the results of this project.
Anyone going on the E18 just east of Västerås see the big solar plant with 91 large so-called trackers. The company Kraft boys have built the whole thing and municipal Mälarenergi has committed to purchase all electricity produced by the plant for 15 years.
But here there is also a research project at Mälardalen University, the Swedish Energy Agency are funding.
What you do in this project is to compare ten different solar systems, no moving facing the sun and some that are stuck on, for example a roof. The aim of the research is to find out which system is the most economical, how to get the most solar energy for the money.
What do you hope this research can lead to?
– In the end, we hope you it will be more solar power installed in Sweden and that this project should be able to make a contribution and be able to suggest how to do it as economically as possible, says Bengt Stridh .
In the autumn of 2015, the project will be completed.
