The goal of the report is to document the solar thermal capacity previously installed in the important markets worldwide, and to ascertain the contribution of solar plants to the supply of energy and the CO₂ emissions avoided as a result of operating these plants. The collectors documented are unglazed collectors, glazed flat-plate and vacuum tube collectors with water as the energy carrier as well as glazed and unglazed air collectors. The data were collected within the framework of a questionnaire survey of the national delegates of the Executive Committee of the SHC Programme and other national experts active in the field of solar thermal energy. Since some of the countries included in this report have very detailed statistics and others could only provide estimates from experts, the data was checked for its plausibility on the basis of various publications. Starting with the collector area, the capacity installed, the contributions of solar plants towards the supply of energy and reduction of CO₂ were ascertained. Solar Heat Worldwide 2007
