“…Firstly, it does not take into account changes in the value of money over time (discount coefficient), and secondly, it requires data on the exact locations of all industrial facilities on which the installation of solar collectors is planned. When calculating the regional potential for such a region as the Krasnodar Territory, with an area of 76,000 square km and a length from north to south of more than 320 km, and from west to east of more than 350 km, this approach creates significant computational difficulties [20] and at the same time does not give any advantages over less accurate methods, since it still leads to the need for data averaging. Therefore, in this study, we used an approach based on the construction of a linear regression model based on statistics on the performance of flat solar water collectors in different regions of the world presented in the source [15].…”

Energy Saving Potential of Industrial Solar Collectors in Southern Regions of Russia: The Case of Krasnodar Region

Industrial low-temperature processes are a promising sector for the introduction of solar collectors, which can partially, and in some cases, completely, replace traditional heat supply technologies. In Krasnodar Region (Russia), it is shown that the energy-saving potential when introducing industrial solar collectors only at food industry enterprises can make up 16%–17% of the total amount of thermal energy produced in the region annually. The global market of industrial solar collectors is currently developing almost without any government incentives, only due to market mechanisms, which indicates the commercial attractiveness of the technology. According to the predicted estimates, levelized cost of energy produced by industrial solar collectors in the southern regions of Russia may amount to 3.8–6.6 rubles per kWh. Even though the forecast estimates are higher than current tariffs, the economic feasibility of using solar collectors in the industry increases significantly if it is not possible to connect to centralized heating networks, as well as in the case of the seasonal load of industrial facilities. As a measure of state incentives for the development of industrial solar collectors in Russia, we offer state co-financing of demonstration projects of Russian manufacturers. This will increase the level of awareness of the population and businesses about the capabilities of this technology. Also, it will increase the technical competencies and innovative potential of companies involved in the production and installation of solar collectors.
