The Spanish residential solar thermal market is showing signs of resurgence. After a decline of 8 % in 2020 due to Covid-19, the market experienced 1 % growth in the first half of 2021, according to the solar thermal association ASIT. Solar PV seems an ever-harder contender, sometimes battling for the same resources as solar thermal such as surface areas, customers or even incentives. Nevertheless, increasing subsidies sourced partly from the European recovery fund suggest an even better outlook for 2022.
