“…Adoption of solar energy and investment in it can be determined by the decision of price-sensitive consumers also (see Table III). Some ordinary respondents viewed that only the rich persons can adopt it since the cost of investment is high and return is very long term, as stressed by [3], [11], [27]. According to some ordinary respondents to maintain the status quo and a kind of fashion some people were installing solar panels in the Eko-Vikki, as stressed in terms of "solar-believers" by [29].…”

“…By the sides of those successful stories, it is known that solar panels work well in such cool and dustless weather condition that Finland has. Furthermore, the country does have almost the same solar irradiation that Germany has [3], [11]. Being pressured by the global boom of solar energy growth and stunning solar market structure in some neighbouring countries like Germany, recently different filed-configuring-events are undertaken by government-affiliated intermediaries in Finland for promoting solar energy technology.…”

“…for solar energy production and consumer-owned solar energy installation does not receive any investment support [6]. Furthermore, the payback period for domestic installation is very long, approximately 40 years [11]. Regardless of such condition, a growing interest has been observed among consumers and they have already started to invest in solar energy [3], [6].…”

Although most of the Finns are positive toward solar energy, they have long been stumbled to adopt and hesitated to rely on it due to its traditional weak images and mostly unfavourable weather conditions. However, in solar energy, Finland is already credited to award-winning innovation, demonstration projects, business models, and so on. Additionally, decreased price and the availability of some incentives have got the public attraction. In such contexts, the prospects of solar energy in the country in terms of public readiness to invest and adopt, have induced this study to undertake. Results driven by this qualitative study through some semi-structured interviews have shown a trend of escalating social acceptance rate of solar energy among Finns. However, they were seemed to be still entangled with some misconceptions, lack of well-exposed information, good numbers of visible success stories, etc. This study has also included some recommendations and future research directions.

“…These systems are energy efficient and they are designed based on the relatively constant temperature of the ground to supply heating during the winter and cooling during the summer. Vertical closed-loop systems are the most efficient, though the most expensive, configuration because the subsoil level of temperature increases and stabilizes with depth [7][8][9]. Analyses of GSHP have been widely conducted in literature from energetic and exergetic points of view [10][11][12][13].…”

This paper investigates the performance of a ground source heat pump that is coupled with a photovoltaic system to provide cooling and heating demands of a zero-energy residential building. Exergy and sustainability analyses have been conducted to evaluate the exergy destruction rate and SI of different compartments of the hybrid system. The effects of monthly thermal load variations on the performance of the hybrid system are investigated. The hybrid system consists of a vertical ground source heat exchanger, rooftop photovoltaic panels, and a heat pump cycle. Exergetic efficiency of the solar-geothermal heat pump system does not exceed 10 percent, and most exergy destruction takes place in photovoltaic panel, condenser, and evaporator. Although SI of PV system remains constant during a year, SI of GSHP varies depending on cooling and heating mode. The results also show that utilization of this hybrid system can reduce CO 2 emissions by almost 70 tons per year.
