The full platform will provide heat equivalent to 2.3 GWh of gas consumption. Moreover, during summer months and high-sunshine periods, it will provide up to 100% of the factory’s heat demand.

Solar thermal has a storage advantage over PV, but an disadvantage in electric efficiency. Hope to see more of these come online.

I’d love for them to build such a facility at or near their world HQ, which in my old hometown, but sadly it’s in a red state whose government is deep in the pockets of fossil fuel companies.
