Solar Energy Research Center (Serc) - Dalarna University

the solar energy research center (serc) was established at dalarna university in 1984. since then, it has developed from being a specialist in the field of solar thermal technology to a specialist in complete energy systems. current research examines the areas of solar heating and photovoltaic systems; combinations with storing techniques; biofuels and wind power (to cover seasonal and year-round needs for heat and electricity); and socio-technical systems. the research is cross- and multi-scientific and is conducted in collaboration with a number of corporations and organizations. international and national research researchers at serc are involved in eu projects on the implementation of solar energy in the renovation of residential buildings and offices, solar heating in district-heating systems, and combined heat pump and solar heating systems for single-family houses. serc is also involved in a national project called testbädd solenergi, coordinated by the sp technical research
