Import Shipments of Solar Thermal Collectors by Country, 2008 and 2009
Solar thermal devices use direct heat from the sun, concentrating it in
some manner to produce heat at useful temperatures. The modern solar
industry began with the oil embargo of 1973-1974 and was strengthened
with the second embargo in 1979. The growth of the solar industry during
this period of fuel shortages and high prices (1974-1984) soared from
45 solar collector manufacturing firms to 225 firms. The solar market
was helped during this period by government assistance, both Federal and
State. Currently, solar thermal devices do everything from heating
swimming pools to creating steam for electricity generation. Data published by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA).
