Abstract

This paper¡¯s aim is to show how the features of renewables in terms of both the product and the sector considering solar energy flat plate collector market should be. We focus on a technological device: flat plate solar collector, designed as solution for energy problems of Turkey. We introduce the device and define the market¡¯s structure economically. We show the problems of the sector and the disadvantages of market. We offer a solution based on economic policy regarding what can be done for the future for this product and the related sector in the Turkish Markets.
