Solar thermal energy is a technology for harnessing solar energy for thermal energy (heat). Solar thermal collectors are defined by the USA Energy Information Administration as low-, medium-, or high-temperature collectors. Low temperature collectors are flat plates generally used to heat swimming pools. Medium-temperature collectors are also usually flat plates but are used for creating [...]

A recent article from”Beyond Zero Emissions” suggests that all is not well with the Solar Thermal Industry in the “land down under” . It appears that the federal government is eager to show new support for the industry after cristism for allowing a solar thermal Australian startup company ( Ausra) to be purchased by a global energy company. The government [...]
The Solar Energy Industries Association last week released an independent study projecting the positive economic impact of the Department of Treasury Grant Program (TGP) and the Solar Manufacturing Investment Tax Credit. The study found that extending the TGP by two years and including solar manufacturing in the industries’ existing tax credit would add 200,000 new domestic [...]
