The
solar thermal systems are an important and growing technology in the European market, contributing to the reduction of CO2 emissions and the promotion of sustainable practices in the energy sector.
Solar thermal systems use solar radiation to produce thermal energy, and have applications in both heating and hot water production.
In Europe, there is growing interest in solar thermal systems as countries strive to meet their sustainability and climate change goals. Investments in solar thermal technologies have increased, and many countries are promoting incentives for the installation of solar thermal systems in homes and businesses.
Some European countries have invested in large solar thermal projects, such as in Spain and Germany, where buildings and facilities generate thermal energy for residential and industrial applications. In addition, installation in residential buildings has been encouraged through subsidies and tax incentives.
Despite the positive developments, there are still challenges that limit the adoption of solar thermal systems. Financial factors such as installation costs are still a barrier for some consumers. However, with the continuous technological development and the reduction of the cost of the systems, it is expected to increase their spread in the European market.
Η development of solar thermal systems in the European market is also boosted by public awareness of their benefits. Awareness of climate change and the need for sustainable practices have made solar thermal systems an attractive option for individuals and businesses.
However, investment in research and development is crucial to improve the efficiency and economic viability of solar thermal systems. New technologies, such as industrial collectors and energy storage solutions, allow the expansion of their use in various applications.
At the same time, despite the challenges, the strategic cooperation between the scientific community, industry and governments will promote the sustainable development of solar thermal technologies in Europe. With this development, solar thermal systems are expected to play an essential role in combating climate change and creating a sustainable and efficient energy future in Europe.
