Problem
Industrial heat production, heavily reliant on fossil fuels, contributes significantly to global greenhouse gas emissions. Existing energy storage solutions often lack the cost-effectiveness required to displace fossil fuels, and the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources poses challenges for providing consistent, on-demand heat for manufacturing processes.
Solution
Caldera provides a system that converts intermittent solar energy into reliable industrial heat, available as steam or hot water. The system includes on-site solar, energy storage, and process heat delivery, offering a turnkey solution designed for durability and ease of integration. By converting solar power directly to heat, the system reduces reliance on grid infrastructure and enables deployment of behind-the-meter solar at a larger scale. This approach helps manufacturers reduce carbon emissions, stabilize energy expenses, and achieve sustainability goals.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes industrial manufacturers seeking to reduce carbon emissions and stabilize energy costs, as well as solar developers looking to deploy behind-the-meter solar solutions at a larger scale.
