Example Inter Solar Systems manufactured absorbers and flat plate collectors with an area of 20,000 m 2 in 2014. The Indian manu- facturer sold parts of its production to other branded companies. If a factory's output of collectors differs greatly from that of absorbers, both figures are mentioned. The manufacturer KBB Kollektorbau from Germany produced 55,000 m 2 of collector area and 200,000 m 2 of absorber area in 2014. Inter Solar Systems 20,000 KBB 55,000 (200,000)
