Solar Collectors
Unfortunately, I can't provide an awful lot of context for this particular word, as it's on its own in a table. What I can say, however, is that it has to do with solar collectors (indeed, the table appears to make a distinction between "Vakuumröhrekollektoren" and "Flachkollektoren"). Research in Google has revealed that "Förderaktion" is frequently used in solar collector contexts. What it actually means though, I have no idea, and I can't find a translation for it anywhere. TIA for any light you can shed on it, and Happy New Year.

incentive program
My confidence is somewhat low, since I suppose it could also be referring to some technical aspect (though I doubt it).

Also, sorry for the lack of references, but many countries/states have such incentive programs/schemes to boost the development in certain areas (see, for example, http://www.google.com/#sclient=psy&hl=en&safe=off&q=solar "i... ).

A rather hotly discussed topic with Germany providing financial incentives for 10000 Megawatts from Solar Energy at an additional cost of 20 Billion Euros in 2011 - in a land without very much annual sunshine !!!
