Decarbonization Avenue : Low & medium temperature solar thermal

Innovation Insights

Solar thermal based preheating

Low temperature solar thermal systems can be deployed in industrial processes that need higher temperatures by utilizing the solar thermal systems for pre-heating and using conventional systems for providing the additional energy needed for increased temperatures. Examples of these can be found in industries such as food and beverages that use solar water heaters for pre-heating the water used for their processes.
