ABSTRACT

This study aspires to reveal the background of the penetration of solar thermal technologies and to overview the past and present of solar thermal systems as well as their potential and the market in the Baltic States. In this study a review of the solar energy potential and the market in Baltic states is conducted. The study presents the types of solar thermal systems, their cost, the progress of installations in recent years as well as the potential of solar thermal systems in Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. A comprehensive review and analysis of medium-scale solar thermal systems in Baltic states is also presented. The study also discusses on the current support financial schemes for solar thermal energy valid in the investigated EU member states. Despite the long payback period of ST systems in Baltic countries, the market is slowly growing, mainly due to support from EU and other funds.

摘要

这项研究旨在揭示太阳热能技术渗透的背景，并概述太阳热能系统的过去和现在，以及它们在波罗的海国家的潜力和市场。在这项研究中，对波罗的海国家的太阳能潜力和市场进行了回顾。该研究报告介绍了太阳能热系统的类型，成本，近年来的安装进度以及立陶宛，拉脱维亚和爱沙尼亚的太阳能热系统的潜力。还介绍了波罗的海州中型太阳能热系统的全面回顾和分析。该研究还讨论了在受调查的欧盟成员国中有效的当前太阳能热能支持财政计划。尽管波罗的海国家的ST系统的投资回收期较长，但市场正在缓慢增长，
