TVP SHIP: System Strengths & Uniqueness

Game-changing value proposition for industrial processes with TVP panels

Minimizes fossil fuel consumption Substitutes & cuts diesel and other fossil fuels burned, running thermal process via solar with combustible auxiliary. Highly relevant to regions with limited distribution networks and remote locations with associated high cost and scarcity of fuels

Best solar solution for dusty, hazy, polluted, humid & overcast environments Any solar field output is affected by light conditions and further reduced by particulate accumulation on collector surfaces. Uniquely, TVP panels require no water-based cleaning in these environments, because high vacuum insulation enables effective capture of full-spectrum diffuse light.

Flexible to match any client need in any weather condition

Boiler/steam generator hybridization via an integrated auxiliary burner allows maximum solar use in any weather condition. SHIP can be configured to serve new machinery and integrated into existing systems mainly via heat exchanger.

Scalable in terms of capacity and solar contribution TVP-based solar field modularity and scalability in absorption chiller capacity meets cooling needs of any client. Solar contribution o thermal requirements uniquely can be further scaled and extended over daylight operations via thermal storage.

Significantly reduce CO2 emissions

TVP replaces diesel and fossil fuels directly, immediately reducing carbon dioxide and other pollutant emissions. SHIP thus not only reduces operating costs but also allows adopters to achieve sustainability goals, both corporate and international.

TVP SHIP: Indirect Boiler Heating For Large Capacity

Solar-only SHIP model – typically for pre-heating or heating

4

Electricity or combustible consumption is minimized by the addition of a solar field sending hot fluid (pressurized water or diathermic oil) to a heat exchanger and serving a boiler with integrated heater (resistance or burner).

This configuration maximizes the use of solar energy, taking advantage of any temperature generated by the solar field during daylight hours, as pre-heating booster or complete heat provider.

Solar thermal contribution to thermal requirements depends on solar field size.

TVP SHIP: Direct Boiler Heating For Large Capacity

Solar-only SHIP model – typically for pre-heating or heating

5

Electricity or combustible consumption is minimized by the addition of a solar field sending hot fluid (pressurized water or diathermic oil) directly to a boiler with integrated heater (resistance or burner).

This configuration maximizes the use of solar energy, taking advantage of any temperature generated by the solar field during daylight hours, as pre-heating booster.

Solar thermal contribution to SHIP requirements depends on solar field size.

TVP SHIP: Steam Generation For Large Capacity Up To 150 psi

Solar + combustible hybrid SHIP model via indirect steam generator (ISG) for steam applications

6

Solar energy complemented by a natural gas, LPG, diesel, biogas or biomass burner, provides steam up to 24/7 at required pressure via an indirect steam generator. The burner provides additional lift between solar field thermal generation and temperature required by an indirect steam generator.

This configuration maximizes the use of solar energy, because the steam generator takes advantage of any temperature generated by the solar field during daylight hours.

Solar thermal contribution to SHIP requirements depends on solar field size and related thermal storage capacity (which can extend solar use over daylight hours).

TVP SHIP: Serving Heat Exchangers

Solar-only or hybrid mode to heat or pre-heat application fluids

TVP SHIP: Cascade Configuration For Multiple Needs

One field, multiple heat services

8

• Two or three applications supplied from the same solar thermal source • separate applications requiring a maximum delta-T of 30°C • each thermal loop can serve a different application machine • steam, heating, and cooling needs served simultaneously

• The cascade system optimizes the economics of the applications: • single investment for multiple energy savings • single installation footprint for multiple energy demands

• Cascade configuration: • one solar field provides thermal energy above the highest required temperature • each application is a separate, closed loop to ensure system integrity • optional combustible burner for 24/7 operation and/or constant temperature supply
