- Solar Heat Worldwide - Markets and Contribution to Energy Supply 2010 (2012)-
This report has been written by Werner Weiss and Franz Mauthner in contribution to the International Energy Agency (IEA)’s Solar Heating and Cooling Programme (SHC). It documents the solar thermal capacity installed in 55 countries, and ascertains the contribution of solar thermal systems to the supply of energy and the CO¬2 emissions avoided as a result of operating these systems.
- Concentrating Solar Power: Global Outlook 09-
This 2009 report looks into the global outlook of concentrating solar power (CSP). The report first looks into the different CSP technologies and makes a comparison based on the advantages and disadvantages. The report also provides an overview of the CSP development by region. For certain countries per region a more detailed assessment is provided. In particular, the potential of the Mediterranean and the MENA region is being assessed.
- Solar Thermal Industry National Status and Projections (2011)-
This presentation discusses the current status of solar thermal energy in the United States and its projected future for the next 5-10 years. It was first presented at the Texas Renewables 2011 conference. Focusing on solar water heating (SWH) systems and solar pool heating (SPH) systems, this presentation touches on both residential and commercial uses for solar thermal energy. It also delves into the different renewable energy programs from each state including which states provide rebates and incentives for using solar thermal energy.
- Explaining Solar Thermal to the Public- This video informs potential solar thermal customers of the simplicity of a solar thermal system; an ideal tool to explain how solar thermal saves the public money.

- Solar Heat for Industrial Processes (2004)-
This document was released by the International Energy Association (IEA) in 2004 to increase attention and participation for integrating solar heat into industrial processes. It also explains “medium temperature” collectors and examples of solar heat plants worldwide with their different types of collectors.
