A number of grid-connected PV demonstration projects are emerging in Sweden. ‘Harmonihuset’ built for a housing exhibition in Malmö, features an 8 kW semi-transparent canopy. A special subsidy for PV in public buildings was announced in April 2004. A maximum of 100 million SEK (13 million USD) has been allocated in an economic government bill. These funds are to be consumed in 18 months, and would correspond to about half the cumulative installed power to date. The scheme details have yet to be fully defined, however, the Swedish Energy Agency has recommended that the timeframe be extended. Separately, a feed-in tariff programme has also been proposed, though this is expected to be limited to 3 MW total installed capacity.
