The Solar Heat Worldwide report has been published annually since 2005 within the framework of the Solar Heating and Cooling Technology Collaboration Programme (SHC TCP) of the International Energy Agency (IEA). The first edition of the report included data from 35 countries. The database has been extended to 70 countries over the past 17 years.
Based on application, the global solar thermal market from the domestic hot water systems segment will hold a substantial share by 2027. This is a result of the mounting deployment of solar water heaters in residences due to myriad benefits, including high efficiency and reduced carbon footprint.
This is considerably lower than the share of renewables in electricity generation, which stood at roughly 30 percent in that same year. Solar thermal energy, which uses solar radiation to heat a fluid, produces direct heat for domestic and industrial applications and plays an important role in the decarbonization of heat production.
Globally, solar thermal energy in the building sector is facing intense pressure ─ on one side from the rapid expansion of heat pumps and policies favoring Solar process heat using concentrating collectors has proven to be economically viable in Germany.
