This work was done on the behalf of Sala-Heby Energi on the use of solar energy in district heating facilities around Sala municipality, the work has looked at the potential in using solar panels for heating through electricity and found that it was possible but it wasn’t economically feasible to recover the investment costs during the lifetime of the solar cells if the investment cost were above 4000 kr per solar panel for most of the district heating networks. Another viable way to generate district heating was with the use of solar thermal collectors the technology was found to be both viable and potentially economically feasible, this was due to the lower size of land needed for allocation and lower overall investment costs, however reaching the company associated with this technology was not possible in the given timeframe. This work analysed Energy storage solutions and the most optimal solution for thermal storage in the use for district heating was the use of hot water tanks, this had the ability to both store energy for night-time use and to have the lowest associated cost.
