Solar thermal technology is ideal for industrial applications requiring heat or steam. Abengoa Solar has built numerous facilities in the United States, Brazil and India using heat or steam for industrial applications such as air-conditioning buildings, heating domestic hot water, repowering conventional coal plants, cooking, enhanced oil recovery or industrial process heat. Customers can lower their electric bill by using these applications because it will allow them to generate clean, pollution-free and greenhouse gas free energy for their business on site, therefore reducing actual consumption.

Abengoa Solar designs and manufactures concentrating solar thermal parabolic trough systems for large commercial and industrial applications, as the PT-1 and PMT concentrator.
