The Solar Thermal Working Group seeks to address the major technical, market, economic, institutional, and policy barriers impeding the scaling the development and deployment of this technology as well as its potential to deliver cost-effective and sustainable, lower-carbon thermal energy in the short-term (by 2030) and the long-term (2050).
The group’s goal is to put together a Technology Assessment focused on the acceleration of solar thermal, primarily focused on how the technology can become sustainable, cost-competitive, and scalable.
