Brazil’s solar thermal market continued to grow in 2020 despite the pandemic taking a heavy toll on the country. According to annual statistics compiled by national solar thermal association ABRASOL, the newly installed glazed and unglazed collector area increased by 7.2 %, to 992 MWth (1,416,770 m2). That was an even bigger jump than in 2019, when year-on-year growth stood at 5.6 %. A cut in interest rates spurred demand in the second half of 2020, offsetting lower sales in the first six months of the year.
