2019 Award Winner

KYOTHERM of France wins the International Energy Agency Solar Heating Programme (IEA SHC) SOLAR AWARD. KYOTHERM’s third-party ESCO solution creates a commercial advantage for solar thermal projects by taking on the investment costs and risks from end-users, which is the key to having a competitive investment environment from day one. CEO Mr. Arnaud Susplugas received the award on behalf of KYOTHERM during SHC 2019, the IEA SHC’s International Conference on Solar Heating and Cooling for Buildings and Industry held this year in Santiago, Chile together with the ISES Solar World Congress.
