Bosch expects sales of more than 150,000 collectors this year, with an increase of more than 60% over 2006 sales. In the next two years, the company expects to double its sales to around 300,000 collectors a year, or almost 1,000 units a day on average. Last year, Bosch launched its new line of collectors, which are light and easy to assemble and recycle.
The solar thermal market worldwide is expected to reach $3 billion sales in the coming from a current market of $1.5 billion (2006 levels). There is, therefore, a lot of hope for manufacturers like Bosch to reap the benefits of such a great market.
