In order to analyze the status of development of solar thermal technology in Korea, importance and characteristics of solar thermal technology is considered. That is, solar collector, solar hot water heater, solar industrial system and solar buildings is analyzed in the view of worldwide technology, And then, domestic insolation sources and sale amounts of solar system is introduced. In this paper, it Is presented long-term objective in the basic plan of development new & rowable energy in Korea. As a result of analysis, the status of solar thermal technology in Korea is pactical use state in the field of low temperature use and application state in the field of mid-temperature use.
