Solar Heat Europe is a Brussels-based international non-profit association dedicated to promoting solar thermal energy and technologies. Founded in 1992, the organisation celebrates over 30 years of European action in advancing solar heating and cooling solutions. The association represents over 44 members, including manufacturers, suppliers, project developers, research institutes, and national associations from 16 European countries. Solar Heat Europe works to facilitate deployment of solar thermal technologies for heating water, space, and industrial processes at scales ranging from small residential systems to large-scale installations serving cities and industrial facilities. The association engages in advocacy, policy coordination, European projects, certification support, and research initiatives. In 2024, Solar Heat Europe joined the IEA Technology Collaboration Programme on Solar Heat and Cooling (IEA SHC) and became a member of REN21, the global renewable energy policy network. The organisation advocates for clear policy frameworks to accelerate renewable heat decarbonisation in Europe.
