This report was released in 2010, but provides an overview and tables with historical data from 1999-2008. It was prepared by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) and it gives a summary of total shipments and manufacturing trends in 2008 in the U.S.
In 2008, active manufacturers and importers rose from 60 to 74, and almost 17 million square feet of solar thermal collectors were shipped. This was also on the rise from 15.2 million square feet in 2007.
Shipments also remained highly concentrated, with the 5 largest companies accounting for 83 percent of total shipments.
Aside from total shipment data and graphs, there is also data to see total shipments by solar thermal collectors and prices.
