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.

Solar power generation

Solar array sends DC electricity through a controller to the heaters, eliminating inverters and other grid-connection equipment used by conventional solar farms.

Electric Heating

Resistive heating elements use electricity to heat air, which carries heat into the thermal battery.

Heat storage

Dirt thermal battery stores heat above 400 °C for later use.

Heat delivery

Air carries stored heat to the customer, either directly or through a steam generator.
