In 2024, Denmark leads European solar thermal gross heat production at 49.3 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent, slightly decreasing by 0.88% from 2023. Austria follows, showing a 1.93% increase in 2023, achieving 2.46 thousand tonnes. Germany's 2023 surge of 51.37% still places it behind Austria, marking substantial growth over recent years. Latvia, maintaining stability, records 0.92 thousand tonnes annually. Italy shows a notable 17.91% increase in 2023, reaching 0.32 thousand tonnes. Slovakia shows minimal but consistent growth, rising by 0.82%. Luxembourg remains negligible at 0.001 thousand tonnes with no growth.
Future trends to watch include potential advancements in solar thermal technology, policy incentives, and investments in robust infrastructures. These could significantly impact solar thermal production across European countries, possibly altering current country positioning and production volume.
