"We are virtually unbeatable in daily and weekly storage"

Solar thermal is a multipurpose technology: it can generate electricity (day and night), it can produce heat for industrial processes (for drying and dehydration, sterilization, pasteurization, washing) and it can store energy (in thermal salt tanks that store the sun's heat during the day and release it at night to generate energy). We spoke to David Trebolle, secretary general of Protermosolar, about all this - storage and flexibility, heat and electricity. Protermosolar is the association of the Spanish solar thermal industry, and Spain is the country with the most installed solar thermal capacity in the world.
