Solar energy can be used to generate heat for a wide variety of industrial applications, including water desalination, enhanced oil recovery, food processing, chemical production, and mineral processing, among many others.
Solar power is the conversion of sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaic (PV), or indirectly using concentrated solar power (CSP). The research has been underway since very beginning for the development of an affordable, in-exhaustive and clean solar energy technology for longer term benefits.
In this article, an extensive review of various solar thermal energy technologies and their industrial applications are presented. The following industries are covered: power generation, oil and gas, pulp & paper, textile, food processing & beverage, pharmaceutical, leather, automotive, and metal industries.
Industrial-scale solar installations, ranging from kilowatts to megawatts (kW to MW), have proven highly effective in offsetting energy costs and reducing carbon emissions. These solar power systems, composed of rooftop solar panels and ground-mounted arrays, can power various energy-intensive processes within industrial facilities.
The integration of solar thermal energy systems with the industrial processes mainly depends on the local solar radiation, availability of land, conventional fuel prices, quality of steam required, and flexibility of system integration with the existing process.
The integration of a solar energy system with industrial processes depends on the aging of the plant. If the plant is too old, processes may not have the flexibility for integration with the solar field. It may require major changes in the instrumentation and controls and results in higher integration costs.
