Lantbrukares möjlighet till en investering i solceller
When the costs for a company increase it is normal to look for alternatives to lower thesecosts. One of the expenditure that farmers have is energy costs. The price for the energy mayvary because of the free market. To look at the possibilities for a farmer to invest in sunpower, to make the company less sensitive for the changes on the electrical market, isinteresting. The biggest part of the electricity that is produced in Sweden comes from a fewcompanies on the market. Two types of produced electricity dominate the market. These areelectricity made from nuclear power and electricity made from hydroelectrically power.Renewable sources that do not affect the environment are today a minority of all the producedelectricity.The paper aims to look at the possibilities for a farmer to make an investment in sun power, tofill the company?s need of electricity. Some of the political mean of control are also beinganalyzed to investigate the outcome of an investment. The paper aims to increase theknowledge about the condition for an investment in sun power and whether it would beprofitable.The conclusion of the paper is that it is profitable for the farmer to make an investment in sunpower, provided that the right circumstances exist. One condition that has a big influence onthe investment is that the subsidy is granted for the sun power project. In the summer of 2009the parliament of Sweden approved the subsidy, to support the investments for sun power inSweden. The motive for the subsidy is to stimulate the sun power market. The weathercondition is another factor that affects the profit for the investment. Since the climate inSweden varies from the south to the north part, the geographical location influences theoutcome of the investment, but this is not calculated in the paper. A list is presented in the endof the work, that can be helpful when to start investigate the possibilities for an investment insun power.
