Solar Energy Foundation
supports enterprises in developing countries in the manufacturing and marketing of solar heating equipment;
transfers know-how between established solar heating companies and companies in developing countries;
endorses Swedish companies that partake in the enhancement of solar energy uses;
informs about sustainable and renewable energy sources.
Solar Energy Foundation acts in the spirit of aid to helping oneself, i.e. transfer of knowledge and technology adapted to local circumstances. Our aim is to attain as much use of renewable energy sources as possible. This can be done by development of solar energy technology, economic exploitation of solar energy and by multicultural cooperation.
Solar Energy Foundation wants to enhance knowledge of solar energy and, thereby, increase the use of it, and also contribute to continued technical development. The ambition of the foundation is further to contribute, by means of know-how transfer, to work opportunities and to stimulate crosscultural contacts.
Goal
In general, to spread the use of environment friendly and renewable energy sources as widely as possible, and in particular to enhance the development of solar energy;
To make the use of the sun as raw material economically sound and feasible;
To contribute to and partake in cooperation between nations and cultures.
How we work
By raising subscriptions and by means of project subsidy, the Solar Energy Foundation is to:
Make unbiassed investigations of local needs and possibilities to cooperate in developing countries.
In developing countries, assist local enterprises and their employees, give information about suitable education, and also to contribute financially and in practice to education and training.
Contribute to the exchange of knowledge and licencing by cooperation between established solar energy companies and companies in developing countries.
Give support, technologically and financially, to small enterprises in developing countries by means of contributions and loans. The financing of licence fees for companies that have acquired knowledge and technology is to be eased in the initial phase.
Encourage partaking companies to give information about needs and specifics to the "bank of knowledge" created by the foundation.
