IEA SHC - The World's Largest Solar Heating and Cooling Research Network

IEA Solar Heating & Cooling

Technology Collaboration Programme

Solar Heating and Cooling Technology Collaboration Programme (SHC TCP) was established in 1977, one of the first programmes of the International Energy Agency, to promote the use of all aspects of solar thermal energy. The SHC TCP's work is unique in that it is accomplished through the international collaborative effort of experts from member countries and the European Union.
