India: SoPro to Create Database of 20 Solar Process Heat Case Studies
Submitted by Baerbel Epp on February 18, 2014
- Monitor three solar process heat systems: The objective is to prove through scientific monitoring that solar thermal systems in the industrial sector can deliver a significant amount of solar heat and save a significant amount of fuel if they are designed and operated well enough. The results are thought to help increase trust in solar heating technology.
- Develop simple, robust and low-cost monitoring systems adapted to the demands of the Indian solar heating market and based on the experiences with the three monitored systems.
- Create a database of 20 case studies of solar process heat installations and publish it on the web. The web pages should have additional information displayed as checklists, which would help system owners to better operate and maintain their solar systems and support the decision-making of prospective clients by determining the economic viability of a solar process heat investment.
