co2online's New Guide Aims to Boost Solar Thermal Energy Adoption in Germany
co2online, a non-profit dedicated to reducing CO2 emissions, is creating a guide for solar thermal energy. The guide will be based on experiences from six households across Germany, supported by various industry companies. It aims to help households planning to install or upgrade renewable heating systems, including solar thermal systems, with government programs like the GEG and federal funding schemes offering up to 70% subsidies.
co2online's research revealed lack of money and time as the primary barriers to installing solar thermal energy. Other obstacles included a long payback period, insufficient information about subsidies, or inadequate subsidies. Despite these challenges, 28% of respondents sought information from craftsmen or energy advisors, while 46% relied on family, friends, or neighbors for guidance.
The upcoming guide will provide practical insights from homeowners and expert tips, helping households navigate these barriers and make informed decisions about solar thermal energy installations.
With the Building Energy Act (GEG) and federal funding schemes promoting renewable heating solutions, companies like Allmess, Brötje, Buderus, and others are involved in providing solar thermal and efficient heating solutions. co2online's guide will equip households with the knowledge to overcome barriers and take advantage of these opportunities, contributing to Germany's renewable energy transition.
