Standard Thermal Oklahoma Test Site

Solar PV
delivered as heat
24/7/365.

We make industrial process heat available around the clock with solar PV at prices competitive with natural gas.

Standard Thermal's Oklahoma Test Site — 100 kW solar array powering a 6 MWh thermal storage unit.

Reliable Industrial Heat

Our storage solution balances summer and winter solar PV supply to provide steady, year-round industrial process heat.

We bank excess summer solar production for winter use to power seasonal heating loads like district heating.

Dirt Cheap Thermal Storage

01

DC Solar Array

A high-density, low-profile solar PV array provides direct current power. Our efficient power management system eliminates the inverters, transformers, and grid-tie equipment that account for one-third of a conventional solar farm's cost.

02

Resistive Heating Elements

Electricity flows to heating elements that heat air, which transfers heat to the dirt storage material.

03

Dirt Storage

Dirt storage provides ultra cheap, long duration storage at temperatures above 400 °C.

04

Heat Delivery

Air removes heat from the material and delivers it directly to the customer or to a steam generator.
