Learn MoreSolar thermal energy (STE) is a form of energy and a technology for harnessing solar energy to generate thermal energy for use in industry, and in the residential and commercial sectors. Solar thermal collectors are classified by the United States Energy Information Administration as low-, medium-, or high-temperature collectors.
Industry and in the residential and commercial sectors can use this technology. Solar thermal energy is defined as low, medium, or high- temperature collectors (CSP energy). Typically, residential collectors work at low temperatures. Energy storage capacity plays a vital role in compensating for fluctuations in energy production and consumption.
In energy systems in sunny countries that rely on renewable energy sources, solar thermal instead of fossil fuel power plants will be able to supply cost-effective base-load and peak-load electricity at low cost and stabilise the power grids.
Solar thermal facilities need energy support systems. These systems prevent a lack of solar radiation or a consumption higher than the dimensioned. These energy support systems can be from various sources: Directly from the electricity company's network. Other sources of renewable energy - for example, wind energy.
Since solar thermal power plants can feed their electricity into the power grid even after sunset, they are of particular value for an energy system based on renewable energy sources. Solar thermal power plants are of strategic importance in sunny countries to be able to phase out coal and gas power plants in the future.
With approximately six gigawatts of installed capacity worldwide in 2020, solar thermal power plants are still at the beginning of their market introduction, comparable to photovol-taics 15 years ago or wind energy 25 years ago.
