Solar thermal technology harnesses sunlight to generate heat, making it a sustainable solution for industrial process heating in India. As industries account for nearly 25% of the country’s energy consumption, transitioning to solar thermal systems can significantly reduce reliance on fossil fuels, cut costs, and lower greenhouse gas emissions. Applications include water heating, steam generation, and drying in sectors like textiles, food processing, and chemicals. Solar thermal can enhance safety by providing clean heat and improving air quality. Government initiatives, such as the National Solar Mission, support this transition through subsidies and incentives. However, challenges like initial investment costs and the need for technical expertise must be addressed. With growing awareness and advancements in technology, solar thermal energy can revolutionize India's industrial landscape, fostering sustainability and resilience while addressing energy demands and climate change.
