Welcome to the Website of the Solar Trade Association
The Solar Trade Association Ltd. (STA) is a company limited by guarantee, having been formed in 1978 to serve as a focal point for organisations with business interests in the Solar Energy industry.
Those interests cover thermal applications, such as the production of domestic or industrial hot water or the heating of swimming pools.
In addition to regulating the activities and standards of its members, the STA serves as an enquiry centre for the public, industry and governmental bodies. It provides information to enhance the general understanding of the advantages derived from solar energy systems and to encourage potential purchasers to use STA members.
The members are made up of the producers of solar collectors and associated equipment and the installers of systems which cover the solar thermal business in the United Kingdom.
The STA endeavours to influence opinion and facilitate widespread acceptance of all types of solar technology and provides information to its members on a regular basis concerning national and international standards, public enquiries, new legislation and advances in technology. It takes part in standards committees and has a regular dialogue with Government Departments.
The use of solar energy spares the use of conventional fuel and is non-polluting, thus being kind to the environment and reducing running costs for the user at the same time. By choosing a solar energy installation via STA members, you are assured of the highest quality and support.
