title = "A review of Solar thermal systems utilization for industrial process heat applications",
abstract = "This paper presents a literature review on Solar thermal systems for commercial and industrial application. The growth of solar thermal system for industrial use is slow relative to the development solar thermal for residential application due to the higher level of temperature required for industrial process and the systems' low efficiency. A number of research works on the development of solar thermal systems is discussed. The aim of this review is to identify the research trend of solar thermal systems for industrial applications. The review indicates that, there is a significant research development on the solar thermal but mainly focus on electricity generation but not for low/medium temperature industrial heat processes. Therefore the paper considers this as a research gap in the renewable energy development research.",
