Intersolar Forum (A3.150)

Solar thermal technologies are gaining momentum as key solutions for renewable heat. In this pitch session, innovators and companies will present practical examples and applications from the German, European, and Mexican markets, highlighting how solar heat is being deployed across different climates and energy systems.
The session will feature a range of technologies, including PVT systems and concentrating solar collectors, and showcase how solar thermal can be combined with other renewable heat solutions such as heat pumps and thermal storage. Through short pitches, speakers will demonstrate how integrated systems can deliver efficient, scalable, and low-carbon heat for various applications.
Join us to discover innovative technologies, real-world projects, and cross-regional insights on how solar thermal is contributing to the transition toward sustainable heating.
