Torsten Lütjen represents Savosolar, a Finnish company active in Germany that specializes in producing solar collectors. He highlights the company's achievement with their largest system to date—a 20-megawatt installation—emphasizing the shift from measuring projects by square meters to focusing on megawatts and gigawatt hours. This reflects an understanding among customers of the importance of large-scale solar applications. The success is attributed to initiatives like Solare Wärme, which united competitors to advance new technology concepts and promote solar thermal energy as a viable solution for harnessing renewable heat energy efficiently over photovoltaic (PV) systems when land area allows it. With advancements made in technology, expertise availability, cost reductions, and proven references now established, Savosolar is poised for further growth and implementation of its solutions within this sector.
