Solar thermal markets grew 14% in 2010
may 17, 2012
Solar thermal represents three times the energy production of photovoltaic solar energy and concentrated solar power. With 162 TWh produced in 2010, solar heating and cooling is second only to wind energy.
"With 162 TWh produced in 2010, solar heating and cooling is second only to wind energy amongst the 'new' renewables," says Werner Weiss, chairman of the IEA's SHC unit. "And while China continues to lead in total installations, Australia and Israel added more capacity per capita than any other country."
The International Energy Agency's (IEA) Solar Heating and Cooling Programme (SHC) has released a report which finds that solar thermal markets grew 14% in 2010, with 60.2 million square meters of solar thermal collector area added in 55 nations.
