Germany has the greatest capacity of solar thermal collectors in the European Union. As of 2020, Germany's solar thermal units had a capacity of 13.6 gigawatts thermal. This was far more than the second-ranked Austria, which had a cumulative capacity of 3.4 gigawatts thermal. Unsurprisingly, Germany also has the largest installed surface area of solar thermal collectors in the EU.
