The identified challenges include developing new materials, enhanced performance, accelerated system installation and improved manufacturing processes, combining solar energy with other clean energy production and storage systems, and integrating solar energy utilisation with local energy utilisation patterns. 1. Past
These emerging solar thermal technologies are: Electrical heat storage (including hot water tanks and compact heat stores, both residential scale and district heating scale) using the power from solar photovoltaics (on-site and/or off-site).
According to the IEA Solar Heating and Cooling (SHC) TCP, 170 million new solar thermal systems using standard technologies and 120 million new solar thermal systems using emerging technologies will need to be installed by 2030.
In this sense, the authors have selected PV/T , building-integrated PV/T , concentrating solar power , solar thermochemistry , solar-driven water distillation , solar thermal energy storage , and solar-assisted heat pump technologies .
Data is scarce on the current deployment of emerging solar thermal technologies (e.g. solar photovoltaic to heat), however markets such as South Africa have already reached 10 MWp since the start of data collection in 2018.
2.6. Solar thermal energy storage The variation of solar radiation over time due to weather impedes the efficient utilisation of solar energy, in which the heat demand and supply are mismatched.
