For example, a solar heating system may collect thermal energy to heat water or regulate an indoor facility’s temperature. Solar can provide a more sustainable option for various heating needs. Over time, the right system could help factory owners cut back on the power needed to provide heat for manufacturing.
With low- and medium-temperature heat account ing for 45% of total industrial process heat use, solar thermal systems have a large potential (IRENA, 2014b).
The reliability of solar thermal system for industrial process is a dependant of the following; temperature level of the process heat, climate condition, system integration and design method. The aim of this review is to identify the trend of research development on solar thermal systems for industrial applications. II. PROCESS TEMPERATURE RANGES
The solar thermal system can be integrated with the central steam/hot water supply system of the process industry (Fig. 2). Apart from power generation and process heating, the solar thermal system can also be used for various applications such as air-conditioning, space heating, cooling, cooking desalination, etc. (Kalogirou, 2004). 4.1.
Norton illustrated the industrial applications of solar heat such as solar water heating system, solar drying system, solar furnaces, green houses, heating and ventilation systems, solar cooking, solar desalination and solar refrigeration , .
Similarly, the solar thermal energy systems can be easily integrated with existing process industries to supply heat to either water pre-heating/steam generation. The solar thermal system can be integrated with the central steam/hot water supply system of the process industry (Fig. 2).

How Manufacturing Plants Can Save with Solar Panels
Many manufacturers are turning to power purchase agreements (PPAs) or solar leases, which allow them to install solar systems with little to no upfront costs. In these arrangements, a third-party provider owns and maintains the solar system, while the manufacturing plant purchases the electricity generated at a predetermined rate.
