By the end of phase III of the SOLTRAIN programme, 3 000 people had been trained in 110 training courses, and the lessons learned in the courses have been implemented by local companies in 326 demonstration projects. The annual solar yield of all the plants installed since 2009 adds up to 3 533 MWh with CO2 savings of 1,222 tons.

This was outlined in a lecture delivered by Werner Weiss late last year, which was based on a paper entitled "More than 300 Solar Thermal Systems as a Result of a Training and R&D Co-operation"
