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. |
