Major European countries, market scan
[REVIEW] In recent years, American and European countries fully affected by the financial crisis, solar water heater market has been some impact, but major manufacturers have invested more in this area to compete for resources. At the same time, China\\ s solar water heater market is the rise of stance with roots Sturm und Drang. Overseas markets, not only is the focus of solar energy companies, China\\ s solar industry is also worth considering the coordinates.

Austria
Austria is the world\\ s largest and most developed solar markets in Europe, is one of the world after China\\ s largest producer of . Austrian solar water heater market in 2009, a 5% growth, the other main European market (such as neighbors, Germany and France) have a great fall.
Austrian solar water heater market in 2008, the growth rate as high as 24% in 2009, down by many factors affect the growth rate to 5%. The growth of solar market in 2008, mainly due to legislation and the support of various funding schemes, and fossil fuel prices rose sharply, making the residential and commercial installation of solar systems has increased significantly. In addition, the end of 2008 early 2009, due to disputes between Russia and Ukraine caused gas supplies to consumers in their homes with energy in an independent will. In addition to these factors, many consumers understand the solar system and the conventional boiler or heat pump heating systems combined. Solar energy systems in commercial and industrial sectors also contributed to the increased use of market forward.
In 2009, the Austrian bank credit system and strict international oil prices, a serious impediment to the development of solar water heater market. Some gas-fired heating stove manufacturers take advantage of this opportunity, through to the customer in the form of subsidies to replace old boilers with new, and thus increasing sales.
2008 and 2009 sales of flat-plate collector solar total Austrian market share of 99%. This is mainly due to the initial installation of flat products, low cost, because it is easy to install, these products are favored by installers and promotion; and vacuum tube collectors compared to inclement weather in the face of common non-friable (such as during heavy snow and hail); flat production costs low and profits high, so the comparison is affected by manufacturers to promote.
Absorbing materials in 2008 and 2009, copper is still the mainstream, increasing market share of aluminum, and stainless steel market in Austria is not how to use. Austria vacuum tube collector\\ s market is very small. In 2008 and 2009 sales of vacuum tube products accounted for only 1% of the solar market, sales of only 2% of total sales. This situation in the short term will not change much. Relatively flat-plate collector, vacuum tube collector prices higher, more fragile, but its higher efficiency than the flat 5% to 10%.
In 2008, Austria, about 17% of installed in new construction, this figure compared to 42.7% in 2007 down a lot. 2009 with a share in the new building will be reduced. This is because the reduction of Austria\\ s new building, one is installed in the existing building will be subsidized gas furnace.
In the past two years, as technology improved, solar water heaters in Austria is already available in many new areas of application, the application of non-residential construction also increased. Austria and Germany is different, mainly through the distribution of solar water heater installation company, followed by a professional heating and renewable energy wholesalers. Currently, the Austrian supplier of ing is to provide a complete solution in the direction of a professional collector suppliers are making various efforts to put forward a complete package of heating program (including heat pumps and boilers), rather than is to provide solar water heater
