Summary

The goal in conducting this study was to assess and describe the current status and assess the potential growth of the worldwide solar thermal (ST) industry for all major industrial and utility scale ST technologies. More specifically, the study included the following objectives: (1) summarize existing industrial and utility scale ST technologies and promising emerging technologies that are under development; (2) evaluate the existing ST industry, focused on the manufacturers and providers of major components for viable industrial or utility scale ST technologies; and (3) assess market potential for industrial and utility scale ST technologies over a 5-year period, from 2009 through 2014.

Driven by the intensification and increased global awareness surrounding several energy-related issues, including energy cost and security, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, climate change, air and water pollution, and other environmental and economic concerns, worldwide interest in alternative energy is quickly rising. The application of ST technologies represents one of several potential solutions that are being widely implemented by power providers, heating and power utilities and other diverse industries to address these issues. Industrial and utility scale ST technologies represent effective, increasingly economically viable opportunities for power providers, utilities, industries, and communities to capture and utilize renewable solar energy for process heating and electrical power generation.

Broad-based support for alternative energy as a solution to energy security, global warming, and rising fossil energy prices has generated tremendous interest in solar energy technologies. Overlooked within the market for renewable energy technologies and long overshadowed by solar photovoltaic (PV) technologies, ST technologies have undergone extensive development and represent a unique technological platform for utility scale power generation. Unlike solar PV technologies, ST technologies can be readily applied to industrial and utility heating systems or power plant thermal storage systems to generate power when sunlight is unavailable. In some cases, utility scale deployments of ST technologies for power generation have demonstrated lower capital costs than PV technologies of the same capacity. Solar thermal technologies used for power generation also have great potential to further reduce production, assembly, and installation costs and remain competitive with solar PV technologies.

A newfound emphasis upon alternative and renewable energy stands to directly benefit the industry for industrial and utility scale ST technologies. The business activity of industry participants, or those companies involved in the manufacture or deployment of industrial and utility scale ST technologies, has risen significantly in recent years as a result of the rising demand for renewable energies from governments, utilities, and industry. In the following sections, this study thoroughly assesses market conditions that have facilitated the growing demand for industrial and utility scale ST technologies and their increasing implementation around the world.

This study reviews industrial and utility scale ST technologies, along with relevant market and production information, technological descriptions and issues, applications, market factors and potential, and an overview of supporting incentives and regulations in major worldwide markets. This study will be of interest to current and potential manufacturers and suppliers of ST technologies as well as entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial companies interested in entering or expanding into the ST technology sector. It will also be of interest to corporate planners and strategists, industrial energy consumers, power providers, electrical power or heating utility companies, energy market researchers, solar energy advocacy groups, and other public and private-sector interest groups and market analysts.

The scope of this investigation includes only major viable technologies and products implemented in the industrial and utility sectors to concentrate, collect, receive, absorb or otherwise make available solar thermal energy for heating or power generation processes. These ST technologies can include various components such as receiver surfaces, receiver tubes (heat collection elements), solar collector assemblies (structural frames), reflective surfaces (mirrors, reflective film), and solar tracking and motion control systems. Solar thermal technologies are integral components to any industrial or utility scale ST system whose sales and manufacturing volumes are largely indicative of the actual or anticipated performance of the entire industrial and utility scale ST technology market. Emerging ST technologies anticipated to be commercially viable within the next 5 years are summarized, but are not included in the market assessment of this report. BCC analyzes each major viable ST technology, determines its current market status, examines its impact on future markets, and presents forecasts of growth over the next 5 years. Technological issues including the latest trends are assessed and discussed, as are the current and likely regulatory environment in support of this industry.

This report analyzes the industry on a worldwide basis in terms of its manufacturing and the deployment of its technologies or products. This report also examines government roles in support of solar thermal (ST) technologies worldwide, including regulatory support and requirements, feed in tariffs, and promotional incentives for various ST technologies, as relevant and available. The report provides a review of the most relevant industrial and utility scale ST technologies, discuss recent trends in capacity installation and unit sales, and provide industry overviews and market assessments for each ST technology.
