Solar Thermal Energy (STE) – STE involves the generation of heat by harnessing and concentrating the energy from the sun. China is the leader in STE technology with 65% of the market share.

The rate of new installations of STE peaked in 2008 with the decreasing installation rate due to the financial and economic crisis. However, this field is seeing cumulative capacity growth each year and constant innovation leading to scale optimization and hybrid solutions combining the use of STE with other technologies.
