Joining the STA provides members with professional differentiation. The main remit of the Association (established in 1978) is to assist its members. To do this effectively it needs to ensure credibility and we operate a strict Code of Ethical Practice to which all members must adhere. This has become recognised and respected throughout the industry.
Whilst solar thermal systems have been a part of UK plumbing systems for many years, it is only in the last few years that Domestic Solar Hot Water (DSHW) systems have started to become widely accepted. The STA now wants to see huge growth in the DSHW market and in the many other forms of solar thermal energy that can help Britain to realise its 15% renewable energy by 2020 targets.
The solar electricity (PV) market has also been growing and with the introduction of the Feed in Tariff in April 2010 is set to grow exponentially with huge demand for these systems as well as for the financial incentives now supporting the electricity generating side of the industry.
Now that the solar industry is moving from a niche industry into the mainstream, the STA is changing its profile to suit the requirements of this growing market. It is continuing with its lead role as a successful implementer of Government energy policy and becoming more involved in the development of new energy and construction industry policies.
