Industrial PV-to-Heat Systems

Turn Solar Power into Process Heat.
Without Interrupting Production.

IPS engineers complete PV-to-Heat systems that operate in parallel with the factory’s existing boiler—delivering steam, hot air or thermal-oil heat while the conventional boiler automatically covers the remaining demand.

Industrial Process Heat

From Sunlight to Process Heat

A controlled thermal source designed around the plant—not around the panels.

Every system is sized from the real thermal load, duty cycle, operating setpoints and boiler profile.

Capture DC Power

Industrial PV arrays generate high-voltage DC power for direct thermal use.

Regulate Delivery

Power converters continuously match available solar output to the heating demand.

Produce Process Heat

The electric boiler or heater delivers steam, hot air or thermal-oil heat at the required conditions.

Maintain Continuity

The existing boiler supplies only the balance, preserving process stability at all times.

Three Industrial Heat Pathways

One PV-to-Heat platform. Three ways to displace fuel.

The architecture is configured to the plant’s heating medium, operating temperature and demand profile.

Industrial Hot Air

Hybrid Air Heating System

A solar-powered duct heater supplies controlled hot air to the process, while the existing fuel system covers only the shortfall and maintains the required outlet temperature.

Spray dryers, ovens and process air
Closed-loop outlet-temperature control
Lower burner duty and fuel demand

Industrial Steam

Hybrid Steam Generation System

A solar electric boiler feeds the common steam header, while the existing fuel boiler modulates to maintain pressure and serve peak demand.

Direct connection to the steam header
Coordinated pressure, flow and level control
Stable steam availability under variable load

Thermal Oil

Hybrid Thermal Oil Heating System

A solar electric heater adds heat to the circulation loop, while the existing thermal-oil boiler maintains the required process supply temperature.

High-temperature industrial process duty
Closed-loop flow and temperature control
Reduced firing rate and operating hours

Engineered as a Complete System

PV modules are only the beginning.

IPS combines solar generation, power conversion, process heating, instrumentation and control into one coordinated industrial system—engineered around the plant’s real operating profile.
