Leading the World in Solar Thermal Power: 

Leading the World in Solar Thermal Power

Solel Snapshot: 

Solel Snapshot Over 230 employees – world’s largest solar thermal company 20 years of solar thermal experience Solel team designs, manufactures and installs solar fields for utility scale power, on-site power plants and industrial solar heating & AC Delivers power when it’s needed most: during peak demand hours

Leadership in Solar Thermal Energy: 

Leadership in Solar Thermal Energy Over $100 million in solar thermal orders in 2006 The only commercially proven electricity-producing solar thermal technology Developing three 50MW solar power plants in Spain with Sacyr Powers nine operating solar power plants in California as well as plants under construction in Nevada and Spain Solel 6 solar power plants feature 40% increase in yearly electrical output

Slide4: 

What is Solar Thermal Power? Free and secure resource, widely available and highly predictable Uses reflectors to concentrate sun’s energy and create heat Uniquely suited for answering peak demands

World Recognizing the Full Costs of Fossil Fuels: 

World Recognizing the Full Costs of Fossil Fuels Climate change is the greatest market failure the world has ever seen. Three elements of policy are required for an effective global response: Carbon pricing, through tax, trading or regulation. Innovation and the deployment of low-carbon technologies. Remove barriers to energy efficiency: inform, educate and persuade individuals to respond to climate change. Stern Review on the Economics of Climate Change, HM Treasury, Oct. 2006 Solar thermal is a no-carbon technology and comes out least expensive on a level playing field.

Solar Thermal: Best Clean Energy Potential: 

Solar Thermal: Best Clean Energy Potential Vinod Khosla, co-founder of Sun Microsystems and leading venture capitalist: …. the world should focus on low-cost technologies that can be rapidly deployed on a large scale and that can quickly reduce costs with new technology developments….. Solar thermal technology is the most promising: every piece of solar thermal technology is decreasing in cost over time…. Wind and photovoltaic technologies are less likely to solve the world’s climate-change problems.

Slide22: 

Industrial cooling and heating system installed in Trento, Italy Collectors supply hot water at 100º C, enabling operation of absorption cooling machines Industrial Cooling and Heating

Solar Industrial Water Heating:Applications : 

Solar Industrial Water Heating: Applications Industries Large residential Hotels & resorts Swimming pools Hospitals FACT: About 50% of utility-produced electricity is used for heating and cooling

Slide24: 

Large Scale Water Heating - Spain

Slide25: 

Air Conditioning (Toyama Japan)

Slide26: 

Pool Heating

Solar Air Conditioning: 

Solar Air Conditioning Main components of solar cooling system are: Solar collectors generating high temp water Single / Double stage absorption chiller Integration into a commercial system

Solar Industrial Water Heating: 

Solar Industrial Water Heating Energy costs involved in heating water with fuel/electricity can be dramatically reduced using solar energy Reduces exposure to fuel price increases High solar radiation areas particularly suited for solar energy applications Payback period is relatively short making the cost/benefit more attractive
