European solar thermal market affected by strong decline in Germany’s heating equipment sales

 

After four years of very dynamic growth, the European solar thermal (ST) market registers a 10% decrease in sales in 2007. Many factors contributed to a 33% decline of Germany’s market. ESTIF urges policy makers to implement solar obligations to speed-up the market penetration of solar thermal.

“We have seen very positive trends in some countries, but a dramatic decline in the German solar thermal market”, says Gerhard Rabensteiner, President of the European Solar Thermal Industry Federation (ESTIF).” For us, this means: We need to make the benefits of solar thermal clearer to the consumers. And we urge policy makers to put an end to stop-&-go support. The industry needs a stable support framework for solar thermal”.

 

Due to the unusual market development, ESTIF publishes provisional market estimations for 2007 already before the end of the year. The final market statistics for 2007 will be published, as usual, in June.
