Assessment of solar thermal energy market development and macro economic impacts
The objective of this study is to furnish an industry estimate of future sales for the three major solar thermal technologies: parabolic trough, parabolic dish, and central receiver. Along with these market projections, information was also sought on: the impact of varied levels of the federal business energy investment credit; projected displacement of conventional energy; investment capital requirements; and direct and indirect employment generated. The report is organized in three major sections. In the first, the market penetration estimates for each technology developed from industry data are briefly reviewed. In the second, the assumptions, values and methodology used to prepare the employment and treasury income assessment are presented. In the third, the results of the analysis and discussion are reported.
