Solar thermal technology is becoming an intrinsic part of heat production both in domestic and industrial applications around the world. Innovative technologies are constantly expanding the fields in which solar thermal energy already finds application, as well as opening up new ones. Current trends and developments of the solar thermal industry are also a focus of the world’s largest exhibition for the solar industry, Intersolar Europe, which takes place from June 8 – 10. This includes innovative storage technologies and solar air conditioning as well as the solar thermal generation of industrial process heat, to name but a few examples. 600 exhibitors show solar thermal technology, 300 of them exhibit both solar thermal and photovoltaic technology. In an exhibition space covering 165,000 square meters, a total of 2,200 companies from Germany and abroad will present their products and services in the areas of photovoltaics, PV production technology and solar thermal technology.
Across the globe, solar thermal technology is continuously delving into new fields of applicationSso. The power of the sun is no longer just used for heating domestic water. If it were up to the German Solar Thermal Technology Platform (DSTTP) and their program entitled “Low Temperature Solar Thermal 2030”, solar thermal technology would be able to cover 50% of German heat demand by 2030. Which technologies will make this possible is being shown at the world’s largest exhibition for the solar industry from June 8 – 10 at the Munich New Trade Fair Centre.
