Recent years, the EU has become a leader to support the action of carbon dioxide emissions, in order to successfully achieve emission reduction targets, EU countries have to look to a new energy. From the industry point of view, wind, solar, biomass, etc. have formed a certain scale, and from the perspective of life, new energy to the ordinary families of the most significant change took place on the roof.

If China is the world's largest solar thermal market, the EU is the fastest growing market. In 2006, the EU-27 and Switzerland's light and heat industry growth rate reached 47%, more than two years ago doubled; newly installed collector area of 300 square meters, heating capacity of 2.1GWth, running equipment, heating The total capacity of 13.5GWth. In 2007, the growth rate estimated at 17% of newly installed collector area will reach 2.5 million square meters.

2002, the European Solar Thermal Industry Association (ESTIF) marks the establishment of regional overall development of the industry, the establishment of management framework. But the natural conditions, history, government policies, support measures and promotion strategies and other factors not only different countries photovoltaic market development; even a country, different government, different budget situations, industrial development is not all plain sailing .

Three major markets: Germany, Austria, Greece

Germany, Austria and Greece are the European solar thermal industry is most developed of the three countries. In 2006, these three countries the cumulative use of solar collector area of 13,952,800 square meters, accounting for 27 EU countries and Switzerland, the total collector area of 72.6% used. Add up the total area of 2,032,700 square meters, compared with 67.7% share.

Germany in the European solar thermal industry, in an absolutely leading position. This is first of all thanks to the continuous improvement of public awareness of environmental protection, in addition to traditional energy prices have not reduced the possibility. Second, the government and industry play an important role. "Marktanreizprogramm" subsidy policy on the promotion of solar thermal products, private consumption contributed. For example, in 2007 the Government within 40 square meters of solar water heater subsidy amount is 40 euros per square meter, at least 275 euros; on 40 square meters within the solar combined systems (hot water, heating) and the amount of subsidies per square meter 70 euros (source: German Federal Ministry of Economics and Export Control Board, BAFA). In addition, Germany's leading solar water heater or combination of systems manufacturers also done a lot of marketing.

Austria is the European solar thermal industry's traditional powers, mainly in the solar system combined market share of the total European market could be about 40% (source: ESTIF, SolarThermalActionPlanforEurope, 2007 1 month), which is no doubt product performance and design put forward higher requirements. Europe's largest manufacturer of glass collector GreenOneTec located in Austria, in 2005 the output of 43 million square meters, a turnover of 41 million euros. In addition, the per capita newly installed heat capacity of collector (KWth/1000 people) index also showed the advantage of Austria. In 2006, the Austrian heat collector per thousand newly installed capacity 25.2KWth, which is almost twice that of Germany, six times the EU average. But the Austrian state subsidies to the collector of products vary greatly, Tirol, Steiermark and Vienna, the market is relatively developed.

Greek solar thermal market in the last century and early 80's on the blowout occurred, mainly due to promotional activities was a strong government policies and subsidies. Of course, Greece superior lighting conditions and relatively high tariffs which have considerable influence. Even if subsidies will cease in 2003, the market is not adversely affected, the industry has entered a healthy development track. In 2006, the Greek collector per thousand newly installed heating capacity of more than 15KWth, second only to Austria. Since the early development of a more rapid, and relatively stable growth in domestic demand, manufacturers of Greece after a few shuffle, stabilized at about 50, about 40% of products for export (Source: GTZ, InternationalExperienceswiththePromotionofSolarWaterHeatersatHousehold-level, 2006 10 months).
