Conference · · Am. Soc. Mech. Eng., (Pap.); (United States)
OSTI ID:6798143

Several issues which are essential for making solar industrial process heat systems cost-effective are identified. These issues are examined under the following headings (1) industrial process interface, (2) solar collector selection, (3) roof versus ground mounting of collectors, (4) roof-mounted structure analysis, (5) tax incentives, and (6) mass production effects.
