What is TVP Solar?
TVP Solar is a Swiss company tackling one of the world’s biggest energy challenges: decarbonizing large-scale heat consumption. They provide carbon-free solutions that deliver renewable heat and steam, mainly targeting industries and district networks. Think of it as beating fossil fuels with the power of the sun — clean, efficient, and game-changing. Their technology is designed to cut CO2 emissions right at the source, making a huge impact on ESG goals for industrial clients worldwide.
Main Benefits of TVP Solar’s Technology
Here’s why TVP Solar stands out:
- Maximize Savings on OPEX: Their solar heat costs as low as 24 €/MWh (or 7 $/MMBtu), which is cheaper than any thermal energy generated by burning liquid or gas fuels, or even electricity. They mainly compete with natural gas tariffs globally, helping clients slash utility bills.
- Cut CO2 Emissions: By replacing natural gas, TVP’s heat avoids up to 10,000 tons of CO2 emissions per MW over a guaranteed 25-year product lifetime. That’s a serious contribution to hitting ESG targets.
- Energy Security: TVP guarantees consistent energy delivery for 25 years, with no performance degradation. This means less reliance on natural gas imports, stable thermal energy supply, and protection against volatile fuel prices.
Targeting Industrial Process Heat
Industrial decarbonization is still a massive challenge — and a critical one for meeting ESG targets. TVP Solar focuses on industrial applications that require heat between 65 and 180°C. Solar thermal energy is a clean, straightforward alternative to fossil fuels in these processes, helping industries worldwide reduce their Scope 1 direct greenhouse gas emissions. It’s a clear path to greener manufacturing and production.
Infrastructure and Financing Capabilities
TVP Solar isn’t just about technology; they’re creating a whole new asset class in renewable energy infrastructure. Their solar thermal solutions are high-return and bankable, making them attractive for developers and investors. They partner with project developers, participate in financing, and offer long-term performance guarantees. Plus, they provide Heat Purchase Agreements that deliver the cheapest and cleanest thermal energy to industrial and utility clients — all without upfront CAPEX or O&M risks and costs. It’s a win-win for everyone involved.
