Abstract
The Swedish climate is characterized by long and cold winters with little or no sunshine. On the other hand solar insolation during the summer is greater than in most parts of Europe. On a yearly basis the average insolation on a horisontal surface is a little less than 1 000 kWh/m2. The average insolation in December is 20 times less the average insolation in June. Hence solar insolation for the months November, December and January is almost negligible for solar energy plants. Heating demand for Stockholm is 3568 degree days and almost the double in the far north of Sweden. Average temperature during January in Stockholm is −2,9 °C.
