What is the impact of alternative heating technologies on traditional heating markets? 6
Solar Thermal markets update 2008 7
Changing nature of the HVAC industry in 2008/9 Lower growth of boiler sales in large European markets Strong growth of renewable varies across technologies and markets Micro-CHP in field trial phase in Europe 2009/10 German solar market is booming with new subsidies in place Investment in renewable technologies strong in 2008 Stronger presence of Japanese AC companies Decreasing heating load for space heating in the new build insulation Likely to see some consolidation in HVAC market in 2009 8
Market Drivers Concern fossil fuel supplies maybe disrupted (Russian winter blues, political instability in the Middle East) Prices of oil/ gas likely to increase to similar peaks in 2008 Construction slowing down US & Europe Nuclear energy is becoming popular as alternative Increasing environmental awareness to climate change More stricter building regulations (EPBD, EuP, 2020 ) Race by HVAC mfrs to develop renewable products/ partnerships Various regional/ national subsidies to kick start the market! Promotions by utilities The role of some utilities changing from energy supply to energy management 9

Key findings 1212
Impact on SOLAR THERMAL Solar supply is much more than a matter of adding some solar collectors Plenty of extra pipework, valves, pumps and controls 13
Various Incentives National Grants Federal/ Regional Tax credits Lower VAT Utilities Feed in tariffs Local Cheaper tariffs loans Green Loans public agencies 14
Selected Incentives schemes Different situation regarding incentives in various countries. Important driver together with legislation. Germany, Austria,Italy, France among others offer incentives. National and regional. Germany: MAP ( Marktanreizprogramm zu Gunsten erneuerbarer Energien ) by BAFA (minimum 410 per installation) France: 50% tax credits Italy: 55% tax credit up to 60,000 (uncertainy for the future) Austria: varies from 600 to over 3,000 No incentives in Greece, Turkey and limited in the UK But in some countries (Spain, Israel) solar is becoming mandatory 15

Commercial and Industrial Applications Untapped market! 36
Opportunities in the Commercial and Industrial Markets Natural gas/ oil remain the main fuel but desire to phase out oil systems Collective Solar market growing but focus on hot water Share of renewables in industrial applications very low, mostly PV Large capacity high temp. heat pumps (CO2) limited to residential use Current various CSP systems still too costly and have limitations Restricted due to space required: cannot fixed securely on roofs or integrated in the same way as ordinary flat plate/ evacuated tubes collectors Low awareness to solar heat potential in industrial/ commercial segments Several industries could benefit from medium to high temp renewables systems, where pressure on reducing energy costs is high. Lack of incentives for commercial and industrial processes 37
Key Target Applications for high efficiency collectors 38
Solar cooling Market overview Currently over 100 systems installed in Europe Most of solar suppliers interested in this segment Small number of manufacturers, mostly small/ medium companies <10 A combination of absorption/ adsorption chillers below 100kW For optimum efficiency solar collectors have limited use depending on location Vacuum tubes offer better potential but have short life span (fragile) Southern European (Italy, Spain, Greece) key target for market deployment The hotel and leisure industry, public buildings offer the largest potential Can reduce pressure on the electricity grid during peak times in the summer Clean, no refrigerants Commercial launch is dependent on higher fossil fuel costs and politics 39
Attractiveness of Solar cooling: Solar cooling 1 The technology appeals to end users due to lack of harmful refrigerants no GHG Can reduce pressure on the electricity grid during peak times in the summer Commercial launch is dependent on higher fossil fuel costs and politics Most manufacturers planning commercial launch in 2009/10 Current solar assisted cooling systems: Climatewell: 10 kw, suitable for existing flat plat collectors <80C Sonnenklima (Suninverse): 10kW cooling, works on absorption principle with temp from 55C to 105C, suitable for small buildings below 200m2 Sortech AG (7.5kW) Yazaki (Japan): now with fully fledged European office, mostly focused on OEM Solarctic 40
Solar cooling 2 Potential competition: Cheap and efficient electrical heat pumps subject to cheap electricity price Gas engine heat pumps (GHP): can do cooling + hot water proven technology GHP are successfully promoted in Italy, Spain, and recently Germany and France GHP are supplied by some leading A/C manufacturers: Sanyo, Aisin, MHI Hybrid systems: Gas absorption systems: Rotarktika (Spain), Vaillant (Germany) Hybrid biomass systems: cheap fuel as an alternative to solar thermal in low radiation areas (Austria, Germany) 41
Process heat High potential in segment below 300 ºC Several industries could benefit Currently lacks awareness Almost 1/3 of process heat is below 200C, suitable for roof installation Current systems: Linear Fresnel: PSA AG (Germany) Requires large area of collectors Not suitable for roof installations Vulnerable to wind Peak power: 500W/m2 For solar cooling: 1kWp/2m2 R&D on reducing thermal loss of flat plate collectors (70-120C) R&D into heat storage (sorption heat storage) Large scale solar for district heating <1% (some 15 plants so far >500m2 area) Planned commercialisation 2009/10 42
Big Changes on the way Solar thermal to be mandatory in new buildings Changing focus, from new build to renovation Big opportunities in the non-residential market Evolution towards mass market Energy storage becoming important Hybrid solution on the rise solar thermal + HP Micro-CHP a boiler progression but likely to remain niche systems 43
