PrintThis assignment is linked directly to your course project, which you are working on right now. Markets for solar thermal systems are very diverse, and current trends differ at different locations. In this lesson we reviewed some energy agency reports that list promising applications and analyze how the industry will develop in the near future. Now you need to narrow this information down to your locality.
The Assignment
Prepare a Market Overview section for your Course Project Propsal. Include both global and local data, and discuss how the observed trends may affect the success of your project. The recommended length of the market review is <2 pages. The following sub-sections may be included:
- Brief history and current status of the STE industry and applications in your area and how it is related to the global and country-side trends
- Future promising areas of STE applications taking into account local businesses, policy, or politics
- Stake holders that will play role in project, competitors, and other players
- How your project fits in the targeted market situation
Deliverable
Please submit 2-page Market Overview document as a single PDF or MS Word file to the Lesson 12 Dropbox in Canvas by 11:55PM on Wednesday (Please see Canvas calendar for exact due dates). Please make sure to provide proper references to the market data you use. Graphical representation of data is beneficial, and original graphics and tables are preferred. If you use borrowed graphics, please provide proper credits.
This section can be further included in your final course proposal as is, but it will be graded separately in this lesson.
