Solar Thermal Energy Equipment Manufacturing
IBISWorld, Sep 2011, Pages: 33
Heating up: Demand for solar thermal equipment will gain ground, as government incentives remain
What is the Solar Thermal Energy Equipment Manufacturing Industry?
This industry manufactures solar thermal energy (STE) equipment. STE is a technology for harnessing solar energy by capturing concentrated sunlight on a particular surface. The surface takes captured energy and creates steam to power turbines and produce electricity. The USA Energy Information Administration classifies solar thermal collectors as low-, medium- or high-temperature. Industry products are different from photovoltaics, which convert solar energy directly into electricity.
Industry Products
- Low-temperature STE equipment
- Medium-temperature STE equipment
- High-temperature STE equipment
Industry Activities
- Parabolic trough
- Parabolic dish
- Power tower
- Solar water heating systems
- Solar pool heating systems
- Solar thermal system components
