The potential for solar heat in the Cape food and beverage industry

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

This report investigates whether or not current solar water heating technology has the potential to supplement conventional energy use within the Western Cape food and beverage industry. In order to achieve this, two things need to be investigated, namely, the potential for such technology in terms of market size and the cost of rolling it out. The report also states at what energy price and under what constraints solar water heating will be feasible as a bulk energy source.
