The Voice of Solar Thermal Electricity industry in Europe and MENA region

ESTELA keeps its members up-to-date about the latest policy, business and technology developments. Being the voice of the STE industry, ESTELA interacts with its members in order to exchange views and agree on common positions via working group discussions on various topics of industrial interest to make their voice heard, share knowledge and best practices. Support to calls for proposals and regular watching on funding initiatives at European level (Horizon 2020 programme etc) is also provided. Companies members of ESTELA can benefit from a better brand visibility and from networking possibilities in view of establishing business contacts.

Currently ESTELA participated to 5 EU-funded projects which are closely related to all stakeholders of the STE sector: EU-SOLARIS, STAGE-STE, SFERA II, KNOWRES and SolarCV.
