Finnish leading #solarThermal system supplier #Meriaura (formerly #Savosolar) to deliver
5,800-square-metre (62,431 sq ft) #solarCollector system to Les Serres Vermeil SARL, an organic vegetables producer based in Palau-del-Vidre, southern France .
The thermal power should be around 4MW.

The company serves customers in district heating, process heat and agroindustry. Ideally, the systems could include #SeasonalStorage.

Solar heat as a solution - Meriaura Energy

Solar heat as a solution Solar heat for industrial processes Solar heat for industrial processes (SHIP) continues its steady growth. Thirty-two per cent of the world’s energy demand is used by industry, and around 75% of this is for heat. Of industrial heat use, some 30% is low temperature heat (<150 °C), which is particularly… Continue reading Solar heat as a solution

Finnish Meriaura / #Savosolar to deliver industrial size #SolarThermal system to Germany. Contact size is 9 million and customer is Bauer Holzenergie in Bad Rappenau. Construction should be completed in 2024.

In May, Savosolar finished Finlands largest #SolarHeating collector system in Mikkeli. That system was 360kW 415m2 and worth 200.000€.

The rererence projects on Central Europe are much larger, like 10MW 13.000m2 in Issoudun, France https://meriauraenergy.com/cases/issoudun-2/

Some companies already offer promising 'low-tech' energy solutions that were not so attractive when energy was cheap and abundant:

#Heliostorage uses #BoreholeThermalEnergyStorage to make #SolarHeat available in winter. Similar to #DrakeLanding in 🇨🇦

#SavoSolar has built many large #PitThermalEnergyStorage systems in Central Europe, but not yet Finland.

We should quickly ramp up such technologies.

How It Works

How it Works Seasonal Thermal Energy Storage is the most energy efficient solution for the heating of buildings. It can be deployed from small to large scale and allows the heat production to be located close to where it is needed.  How Does Seasonal Thermal Energy Storage Work? The cycle begins in spring when the […]
