In 2023, Denmark led European solar thermal gross heat production with 573.32 GWh, despite a slight decline of 0.88%. Austria and Germany followed, with Germany experiencing a notable increase of 51.37%. Other countries like Italy and Slovakia showed moderate growth at 17.7% and 1.16%, respectively. Latvia and Luxembourg showed no change, with values remaining modest. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the past five years indicates varied expansion, with significant gains in Germany and stable performance in Denmark.
Future trends to watch include the impact of regulatory policies promoting renewable energy, potential technological advancements in solar thermal systems, and shifts in energy demand among European countries. Countries currently with low production may see growth if investment in infrastructure and technology increases.
