Why solar thermal?

Solar thermal is an integral technology of the energy transition to decarbonise heat. 

Tackling heat for net zero

Heating and cooling are major carbon challenges, making up 51% of global energy demand —overwhelmingly from fossil fuels. Tackling heat quickly is essential to achieving net zero carbon targets.

The role of solar thermal

Solar thermal plays an important role in the energy transition

Solar thermal is a vital technology for decarbonising heat by directly at the point of use. It reduces reliance on fossil fuels, lowers emissions, and offers efficient, scalable solutions for buildings and industry, accelerating the clean energy transition.

As a grid-edge technology it relieves the electricity grid of pressure and harmonises with other heating equipment, i.e. heat pumps.
