Making Solar Thermal Power Generation in India a Reality (2007)
This is a document provided by Mr. Shirish Garud and Dr. Ishan Purohit, research associates within the Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), New Delhi, India, which proposes an economic and environment evaluation of India’s solar thermal potential.
After a brief presentation of India’s power scenarios, the authors pass in review some solar thermal power generation technologies, like parabolic trough system, power tower system or parabolic dish systems.
Manual for Structural Assessment for Installation in Domestic Dwellings (2003)
This document, prepared by the New Zealand Solar Industry Association (SIA), is an example of a guide explaining how to evaluate domestic timber framed dwellings for the installation of solar collectors and store tanks placed on the roof.
The manual was intended to supplement the standard NZS3604 and identify when specific engineering design is required.
Worldwide Dissemination of CSP Technologies and Resulting Economical Opportunities for the German Industry (2009)
This 2009 study from the Wuppertal Institute looks into the economical opportunities of CSP development from a German perspective. The study analyses the role German companies can play in the development of CSP technologies and how the export of these technologies to the “sunbelt” regions can benefit the different levels in the value-added chain.
