Support collective solar thermal projects for domestic hot water production, heating (new projects)

The main applications of solar thermal are the production of domestic hot water (for housing, hotels, health establishments, etc.), the supply of heat for industry and agriculture, the supply of district heating networks and the heating of swimming pool water.
Investment aid concerns projects for collective solar installations for hot water production. Installations are considered collective when they meet a collective or professional hot water need, regardless of the installed collector surface area and the status of the project owner.
