Innov<strong>at</strong>ive Energietechnologien in Österreich – <strong>Marktentwicklung</strong> 2012<br />
In 2012 a total of 209.630 m 2 solar thermal collectors were installed, which<br />
corresponds to an installed thermal capacity of 146,8 MW th . 96 % of the installed<br />
collectors were fl<strong>at</strong> pl<strong>at</strong>e collectors and 2,5 % evacu<strong>at</strong>ed tube collectors. The<br />
remaining part accounts for unglazed pool absorbers and air collectors.<br />
The development of the solar thermal collector market in Austria is characterized by a<br />
decrease of the sales figures of 16 % in 2012.<br />
Even if also the total production of solar thermal collectors was declining the third<br />
year in row, Austria still is with a produced collector area of 1.1 million square meters<br />
one of the leading European countries. The export r<strong>at</strong>e of solar thermal collectors<br />
was 81 % in 2012.<br />
The turnover of solar thermal industry was estim<strong>at</strong>ed with 345 million Euros for the<br />
year 2012. Therefore approx. 3.400 full time jobs can be numbered in the solar<br />
thermal business.<br />
2.7 He<strong>at</strong> pumps<br />
The development of the Austrian he<strong>at</strong> pump market can be characterized by an early<br />
phase of technology diffusion in the 1980’s (mainly he<strong>at</strong> pumps for w<strong>at</strong>er he<strong>at</strong>ing)<br />
followed by a significant market decrease and a second increase starting from the<br />
year 2001 (now mainly he<strong>at</strong> pumps for space he<strong>at</strong>ing). The second diffusion period<br />
came together with the introduction of energy efficient buildings which offered good<br />
conditions for an energy efficient oper<strong>at</strong>ion of he<strong>at</strong> pumps because of low<br />
temper<strong>at</strong>ure needs in the he<strong>at</strong>ing system and low energy consumption for space<br />
he<strong>at</strong>ing.<br />

The total sales of he<strong>at</strong> pumps (home market and export market) increased from 2011<br />
to 2012 by 9,8 %, from 25.271 plants to 27.754 plants. In particular in the sector of<br />
he<strong>at</strong> pumps up to 20 kW there was a clear increase of the sales figures of 14,0 %. In<br />
this sector the home market (+12,7 %) as well as the export market (+16,6 %)<br />
increased. A decrease could be observed with he<strong>at</strong> pumps in the high power<br />
segment (>80 kW) and with ventil<strong>at</strong>ion he<strong>at</strong> pumps. On the home market hot w<strong>at</strong>er<br />
he<strong>at</strong> pumps decreased slightly.<br />
